Bulls in the Bronx Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do you know
I count your heartbeats before you sleep?
I bite my fingernails to bone
And now I crawl back under the stairwell
To a place I call my home
I really hope you enjoy the show
Because for me, it's just a bad day
You need people like me to feel
[Chorus]
Maybe we're just having too much fun
Maybe you can't handle yourself
Staring at me with your lips and tongue
[Verse 2]
You'll never know
I don't know where I'm going to sleep tonight
She said hotels are cheap and there's one down the street
But, oh, don't you threaten me with a good time
Murder the moment, my God, I'm the serpent
I'm sorry, I can't see that you truly loved me
[Chorus]
Maybe we're just having too much fun
Maybe you can't handle yourself
Staring at me with your lips and tongue
I've been having this dream that we can fly
So maybe if we never wake up, we can see the sky
Do you know
I count your heartbeats before you sleep?
I bite my fingernails to bone
And now I crawl back under the stairwell
To a place I call my home
I really hope you enjoy the show
Because for me, it's just a bad day
You need people like me to feel
[Chorus]
Maybe we're just having too much fun
Maybe you can't handle yourself
Staring at me with your lips and tongue
[Verse 2]
You'll never know
I don't know where I'm going to sleep tonight
She said hotels are cheap and there's one down the street
But, oh, don't you threaten me with a good time
Murder the moment, my God, I'm the serpent
I'm sorry, I can't see that you truly loved me
[Chorus]
Maybe we're just having too much fun
Maybe you can't handle yourself
Staring at me with your lips and tongue
I've been having this dream that we can fly
So maybe if we never wake up, we can see the sky
[Nylon Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Please don't take this out on me
(I don't know how much longer I can take on this earth)
'Cause you're the only thing that's keeping me alive
(I've lost all touch with everything and nothing seems to work)
And I don't want to wait for the down-set date 'cause
(And I'll never be the person that we both want me to be)
I would rather end it all tonight
And if I mean anything to you
(I don't deserve to be alive)
I'm sorry, but I've made up my mind
[Chorus]
Maybe we're just having too much fun
Maybe you can't handle yourself
Staring at me with your lips and tongue
I've been having this dream that we can fly
So darling, close your eyes
[Outro]
'Cause you're about to miss everything
(About to miss everything)
About to miss everything
(About to miss everything)
[Bridge]
Please don't take this out on me
(I don't know how much longer I can take on this earth)
'Cause you're the only thing that's keeping me alive
(I've lost all touch with everything and nothing seems to work)
And I don't want to wait for the down-set date 'cause
(And I'll never be the person that we both want me to be)
I would rather end it all tonight
And if I mean anything to you
(I don't deserve to be alive)
I'm sorry, but I've made up my mind
[Chorus]
Maybe we're just having too much fun
Maybe you can't handle yourself
Staring at me with your lips and tongue
I've been having this dream that we can fly
So darling, close your eyes
[Outro]
'Cause you're about to miss everything
(About to miss everything)
About to miss everything
(About to miss everything)

Genius Annotation
This song was influenced and written as tribute to an Australian girl, from Victoria, named Olivia Jane Penpraze whom decided to take her own life at 19 as a result of years of bullying. Her mother had to pull the plug after her last attempt, in which she was considered brain dead. Read more here
Vic can explain the rest –
Some of the song is inspired by that whole situation.
