Nuns of the Tundra - Baby's Got a Box of Matches

Copied!

Daddy got a gun
Gotta keep you safe
Mama seen a lot
Livin' in a safe space
Brother fell apart
Won't be back for dinner
Sister keepin' hearts
She's a secret sinner

Love was then, and lust is now
Love was then, and lust is now
Burn this whole thing to the ground
Nothing left here to be found
Baby's got a box of matches

Daddy got a gun
Yeah, he feels so big
Mama bought a car
It's where she hides her pills
Brother met a girl on the street
She's a keeper
Sister got scars
She don't fear no reaper

Love was then, and lust is now
Love was then, and lust is now
Burn this whole thing to the ground
Nothing left here to be found
Baby's got a box of matches
Love was then, and lust is now
(Love was then, and lust is now)
Love was then, and lust is now
(Love was then, and lust is now)
Burn this whole thing to the ground
Nothing left here to be found
Baby's got a box of matches

Strike a match
It's so dark without fire
Baby, burn something down to keep us warm
Strike a match
It's so dark without fire
Baby, burn something down to keep us warm
Strike a match
Strike a match
Strike a match
Without fire
Strike a match
Strike a match
Strike a match
Strike a match

Baby's got a box of matches
