May day is rioting in the streets The corner shop is closed The pier had been torched The act of creation changes skin It should be time to buckle up And time to break up It is the first of may And, for once, I feel quite okay Try to pinch me if you dare But this time I'm not going anywhere Bonnie and clyde have disappeared There's confusion in their nest I can feel it in your chest I'll protect you From chlorophyll and peels Overshadowed by this light I promise you'll be alright It is the first of may And, for once, I feel quite okay Try to pinch me if you dare But this time I'm not going anywhere May day is rioting in the streets Getting ready for the fight But I promise you'll be alright It is the first of may And, for once, I feel quite okay Try to pinch me if you dare But this time I'm not going anywhere
