  • K-I-C-K-A-S-S, that's the way we spell success
    K-I-C-K-A-S-S, that's the way we spell success
    K-I-C-K-A-S-S, that's the way we spell success
    K-I-C-K-A-S-S, that's the way we spell success
    K-I-C-K-A-S-S, that's the way we spell success

    Shake me, I'm waiting
    In your new arc they're saying
    I'm the creature in your sick thing
    Everybody sees a giant

    When the bad moon in your heart sings
    And your wind up gears start grinding
    Your teeth feel you smiling
    A better, happier you
    The better happier you

    When you blow out like a dead star
    It reminds me how uniform your beautiful is
    We carry on like it's easy
    Like you're all out and I'm your man
    Baby, I'm your man

    Hit me, I'm bleeding
    In your lounger, on your grooming
    It's the future that's whoring
    The better, happier you
    A better happier you

    When you blow out like a dead star
    It reminds me how uniform your beautiful is
    We carry on like it's easy
    Like you're all out
    And I'm your man
    Baby, I'm your man

    When you blow out like a dead star
    It reminds me how uniform your beautiful is
    We carry on like we're easy
    Like we're all out
    And I'm your man
    Baby, I'm your man

    When you blow out like a dead star
    It reminds me how uniform your beautiful is
    We carry on like it's easy
    Like you're all out
    And I'm your man
    Baby, I'm your man

    K-I-C-K-A-S-S, that's the way we spell success
    K-I-C-K-A-S-S, that's the way we spell success
    K-I-C-K-A-S-S, that's the way we spell success

  • Shannon from Huntington, NyMatthew Good Band are amazing. I found them in the summer of 2001, and I can't even tell you what a soundtrack it was for me. The lyrics are absolutely fantastic, especially for "Giant", like "when you blow out like a dead star, it reminds me how uniform your beautiful is." How amazing is that, how do you write that.
