I cut you out, don't be so typical
Putting my tap shoes on like eggshells when I dance around you
So work it out, why be so difficult?
I'm pouring salt around the cemetery, licking my wounds

Like it's too late to fight on
Spitting on the shoulder that you used to cry on
So dry your eyes, don't make it cyclical
It goes around, goes around, goes around, yeah

You only love me when I'm out of control
Easy come, easy go
You only love me when I'm out on the road
Easy come, easy go

And if I found you down in the river below
Beneath the cliff's head, out in the shallows
The water so blue, that it was red as a rose
My pot of gold, you were the rainbow

I'll be the violet, you'll be the violence
Screaming your white noise, I sit in silence
So shut your mouth, why be so difficult?
It comes around, goes around, goes around, yeah

You only love me when I'm out of control
Easy come, easy go
You only love me when I'm out on the road
Easy come, easy go

And in the ashes of our love, there came a gift as from above
Can't believe my eyes, and look into the skies and wonder why
Why'd you let me go? Why'd you leave me slow?
Why'd you leave me out to dry myself?
Why do I look into the mirror and still see you?
Why does my face seem to turn black and blue?
With the bruises of our love, thrown away like a dove in the air
And all I have is all I am

You only love me when I'm out of control
Easy come, easy go
You only love me when I'm out on the road
Easy come, easy go
