Steady is the hand that holds me from her,
She says goodnight and fails to speak her mind
We lay in silence

Well give it up, give it up, girl
It's a typical act just to get a reaction out of me,
And now I see it

The chemicals, the chemicals combine
Our chemistry's created from the most complex design
Now darling I believe it's time I
Hang my hopes from lynching ropes
And leave this all behind

Standing away from the display
Of love and hate, we love to hate each other: loathing lovers
Well back, back down, back down
A final countdown to the greatest letdown I'll ever endure
I assure you dear, you're like no other

The chemicals, the chemicals combine
Our chemistry's created from the most complex design
Now darling I believe it's time I
Hang my hopes from lynching ropes
And leave this all behind

It's hard to breathe when everything becomes a fantasy
It's hard to breathe when everything becomes a fantasy
It's hard to breathe when everything becomes a fantasy

[The chemicals, the chemicals]

The chemicals, the chemicals combine
Our chemistry's created from the most complex design
Now darling I believe it's time I
Hang my hopes from lynching ropes
And leave this all behind

The chemicals, the chemicals combine
(And leave this all behind)
She says goodnight and fails to speak her mind

This is what you wanted
[The chemicals, the chemicals]
