Tightly Wound Lyrics - Secret Weapon - Mxpx

The dim city light would serve as our guide 

Six hundred candles in the grid 

Like gypsies making off with the moonlight 

The night's gone but we've got the memories 

It always seems to come right down to this 

A heavy hitter swings but seems to miss 

You can't help hope that you'll be the next one 

And you'll be winning 

We're tightly wound, going 'round and around 

We're tightly wound, going 'round and around 

We may break on the way up or on the way down 

Going down, going down 

So face the breaks and we'll be better for it 

Check the tire and get back on the road 

Like an executioner on death row 

It always seems to come right down to this 

A heavy hitter swings but seems to miss 

You can't help hope that you'll be the next one 

And you'll be winning 

We're tightly wound, going 'round and around 

We're tightly wound, going 'round and around 

We may break on the way up or on the way down 

Going down, going down 

So don't cling to desperation, just use your imagination 

Your thoughts are what get you everything 

But don't think you've got it coming, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Don't cling to desperation, just use your imagination 

It always seems to come right down to this 

A heavy hitter swings but seems to miss 

You can't help hope that you'll be the next one 

And you'll be winning 

We're tightly wound, going 'round and around 

We're tightly wound, going 'round and around 

We may break on the way up or on the way down 

Going down, going down 

We're tightly wound, going 'round and around 

We're tightly wound, going 'round and around 

We may break on the way up or on the way down 

Going down, going down 

We're on the way down, going down, going down 

We're on the way down, going down, going down
