lyrics

friday night, the world is buzzing
but I'm just staying home instead
trying to drown out the noise and the hustle
and all the crazy things you said

kick off my shoes, turn on the television
and I climb into my bed
my heart is racing, my phone is buzzing
forty seven messages unread
and the wind is whipping like the living dead
or could it be the voices howling in my head?

but no... you're the bustle in my hedgerow
you're the screw loose in my brain
stop creeping outside around my garden gate
stop peering through my windowpane
I'm not going to play your cat and mouse game
you know you're not the only one of us who is going insane

you call me crazy but you're creeping round my house
and you wonder why I don't wanna be friends
you think you're poking at a scared little mouse
but you taunt the tiger deep within
and I don't wanna tell you this again

you been buzzing round my barbed wire fence
but I'm the queen bee in this hive
think you can scare me but you got no chance
because the game is up and now you're out of time
the tiger's woken up and come alive
come on and meet a little friend of mine I call forty five

bang bang, my friend sends a greeting
and how sweet the sound
soon, soon, you're maker you'll be meeting
now you're lying on the cold cold ground
may the devil take me have I come unwound?

but you were bustling in my hedgerow
you were the screw loose in my brain
you were creeping outside around my garden gate
you were peering through my window pane
and I wasn't gonna play your cat and mouse game
no, you're not the only one of us who has gone insane
