lyrics

Voices shout, I wonder out
And in despair I witness your hit and run
Yeah I’m no fool, I write down
The registration number in crayon
I bet you bash faces (You bash faces)
Like you crash cars (Like you crash cars)
Oh, if you pull punches (You pull punches)
Please spare my guitar!
Oh, oh, oh

Menacing face, gorilla’s gate
And tattooed knuckles spelling out love and hate
We make a deal, a gentleman’s deal
But I got you over a barrel, yeah

I bet you bash faces (You bash faces)
Like you crash cars (Like you crash cars)
Oh, if you pull punches (You pull punches)
Please spare my guitar!
Oh, oh, oh

It was no joke, when I was broke
It was like getting blood from a stone
But I reflect, with few regrets
I could have been wiping blood from my nose

I bet you bash faces (You bash faces)
Like you crash cars (Like you crash cars)
Oh, if you pull punches (You pull punches)
Please spare my guitar!
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Hit and run!
