Moral Straightjacket Lyrics by Farside

The Monroe Doctrine

1999

It's getting late
I know that you're in your bed
And as much as I would like to join you
I'll be staying home instead
If only for a token display
I would like to keep my conscience clean
But am I as righteous as I say?

My glasses crack when you're around
My alter ego gets in the way
Don't want to look through broken eyes
Because I, because I...

Sometimes I hear a whisper when you mention my name
And I swear it was an invitation, and I don't know if I can behave
I know you're as perverted as mе
Therefore you and I should not bе left alone
My temptation is my enemy

My glasses crack when you're around
My alter ego gets in the way
Don't want to look through broken eyes
Because I, because I...

I may have lost some of my purity
But I refuse to relinquish my nobility
The ice in my veins has yet to overcome my blood
So just continue staring at me
And I will surely freeze up
Keep me outside, and I'll patrol your backyard with my moral straightjacket
Kiss me one time and I'll bury myself with my suit of armor

Flirtation with certain peril
It's much more perilous than it appears to be
Reserve my grave amongst the noble ones
'Cause I won't let this take my manhood away from me

Keep me outside, and I'll patrol your backyard with my moral straightjacket
Kiss me one time and I'll bury myself with my suit of armor
I may have lost some of my purity
But I refuse to relinquish my nobility
The ice in my veins has yet to overcome my blood
So just continue staring at me
And I will surely freeze up
I will surely freeze up
I will surely freeze up
