CONTROLLED EXPLOSIONS

Controlled explosions, unexploded bombs
You wouldn’t believe me if I told you
Dry your eyes, forget those lies
Knock the devil off your shoulder

You’re the one, there’s no smoking gun
It’s the oldest trick in the book that he sold you
Dry your eyes, forget those lies
Don’t let that serpent enfold you

He’s making you mad, he’s making you sad
He’s trying to fill your mind with doubt
But it’s love that’s won,
And old left hand HATE - is down for the count

On the brink, it’s not what you think
I couldn’t stand to be rejected
It’s just a name of an old flame
Whose line’s is disconnected

Controlled explosions,
Controlled explosions, bup, owwwwww
Its just the name of some old flame

Now I’ve known girls before, both beautiful so sweet
I keep in my heart with affection
But they weren’t built to last, they’re all in the past
And you’re complete perfection

Controlled explosions, unexploded bombs
Now I’m being inspected
I don’t mind, whatever you find
Those lines are disconnected

You’re the one, there’s no smoking gun
I haven’t worn this suit since 2001
Come back in the sun, it’s love that’s won and
You’re the permanent one
You’re the permanent one
You’re the permanent one
