You came in on a Tuesday Wearing that old black grin Pocket full of trouble And a shine that pulled me in You said, “Boy, don’t stare too long” Like you knew my name I saw your teeth in the moonlight And I still called it tame Gentle Monster Gentle Monster You break my bones so sweet Gentle Monster Gentle Monster You make a wreck of me You left claw marks on the barstool And smoke in my shirt Took my best excuse with you Left me dust and dirt You kiss like a warning sign Laugh like a knife I keep coming back for more Like it’s the law of my life Gentle Monster Gentle Monster You break my bones so sweet Gentle Monster Gentle Monster You make a wreck of me I tried to run You caught my heel I tried to pray You made it real Now the room spins low And the walls come down You’re a holy ruin In this hard-luck town Gentle Monster Gentle Monster You break my bones so sweet Gentle Monster Gentle Monster You make a wreck of me Gentle Monster Gentle Monster Now everybody sees Gentle Monster Gentle Monster You got a hold on me
