Chemistry Set Balancing Act

Chemistry set balancing act,
Delicate thing, about to collapse
The risk that we take just to relax
Chemistry set balancing act

Cozy up to your sleeping pill, it’s a long and lonely night
Wave goodbye from your windowsill, let the pill put out the lights
One milligram, away, from a state of Zen with a room to rent
Though your skin is milky white, you are perfectly tan on the inside

Chemistry set balancing act,
Delicate thing, about to collapse
The risk that we take just to relax
Chemistry set balancing act

You’re a blacker shade of blue,
I could never change your mind, but I can change your mood

Terrified of the way you look, it’s a long and lonely night
Horrified by the pills you took, it’s a long and lonely night
Don’t want to hear that everybody gets this way, I am certain I’m the only one
Step away from your windowsill, you’re not the first angel God has up and abandoned

Chemistry set balancing act,
Delicate thing, about to collapse
Risk that we take just to relax
Chemistry set balancing act

You’re a blacker shade of blue,
I could never change your mind, but I can change your mood

Waitressing plates, towering stack
Teetering on hollering crack
Chemistry set balancing act,
Juggling bones, the earth on my back

Chemistry set balancing act,
Delicate thing, about to collapse
Risk that we take just to relax
Chemistry set balancing act
Chemistry set balancing act
Chemistry set balancing act
