From our hips we don't give a shit

It's the only way to feel alive

And when baby comes it's job well done

Roll in the hay, or a roll around the sun

We're at our worst when it's from our lips
Am       F         F*     Cmaj7
From our lips we caused a rift
         B*               F
And this world is falling in
      F*                 Am
From Babylon to ballroom brawls
    Dm                        F
Our words have formed a death sentence
      F*                     Cmaj7
And I wish that we had never talked

Our hips said it all-A-all-A-all-A-all
