...not just a glancing blow,
you've captured my attention!
inducing vertigo,
and sodium retention.
no miles left to go,
but i forgot to mention:
this one's for the win!
if i go down...
...i'm going down swinging!
if i go down...
...i'm going down swinging!
i am to combat boots,
as you are to an iron fist.
you've been in deep cahoots,
while i am still top on your list;
they say the loser shoots
first, and asks their questions next--
so where've you been?
if i go down...
...i'm going down swinging!
if i go down...
...i'm going down swinging!
not one to fake it,
nor one to see things through;
interrelatedly,
i'll try when i'm with you!
if i go down...
...i'm going down swinging!
if i go down...
...i'm going down swinging!
if i go down...
...i'm going down swinging!
if i go down...
...i'm going down swinging!
