Sidekick

faster than a locomotive
bloodier than civil war
falling for a total stranger
an offer that you can't ignore

looking for a feeling you never knew you needed
buried like an ancient castle
starts as a whisper louder than a pistol
you're such a welcome hassle

change your mind . . . I need a new accomplice
change your mind . . . be my one and only sidekick . . . my sidekick

join me in my future ventures
be the gun to my head
be my nonalcoholic sponsor
my chemical injection

I told myself I wouldn't, course I was gonna
chase what can't be captured
kaleidoscope of color
momentary stutter
unhappily ever after

change your mind . . . I need a new accomplice
change your mind . . . be my one and only sidekick . . . my sidekick

I need to know, gotta know, wanna know right now
are you in?
what's it gonna take?
I'm a lock, guaranteed
I will fizzle out
not smart enough to hesitate

change your mind . . . I need a new accomplice
change your mind . . . be my one and only sidekick . . . my sidekick
