Ball & Chain - Prelude Lyrics by WALK THE MOON

The Other Side: B-Sides and Rarities

2009

It's the end of days
Pumping through your veins
You shouldn't like it
But you like it
Oh, and you look so good (look so good)
I didn't think you could (didn't think you could)
The way you hide it
But you like it
I got something to say, (oh)
Beautiful girl with a ball chain
Oh, it's such a shame, shame, shame
(A-a-ah)
We're getting by on borrowed time
And it's the last thing on our minds
I can't believe my eyes
Well, we're getting close (getting close)
To an overdose (to an overdose)
We could fight it
Oh, but we like it
Oh, we like it
I got something to say
Beautiful girl with a ball and chain
Oh, it's such a shame, shame, shame
(A-a-ah)
We're getting by on borrowed time
And it's the last thing on our minds
I can't believe my eyes
When will it come down to last resorts
Ohh, what is it for?
I got something to say
Beautiful world that's got a ball and chain
Oh, it's such a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
We're getting by on borrowed time
And it's the last thing on our minds
I can't believe my eyes
We're getting by on borrowed time
And it's the last thing on our minds
I can't believe my eyes
