lyrics

Ave Maria! She's an asteroid
Crashing into the only space cowboy who dared to look away

She's a karaoke model
She's a legionaire
She will down me in her bottle
Til I'm never there

Now I took a breather to hang with my boys
But if couldn't see her then I'd split my loins
You're dared to look away

She's a karaoke model
She's an act of faith
She will down me in her bottle
She's a master race

She's a karaoke model
She's an act of faith
She will down me in her bottle
She a master race

But why won't she put up a fight for me?
Chain my leg
Lord knows it just isn't right

Mean as a postcard from a candy shop
Tonguing me secrets when the camera cops
Dared to look away

She's a karaoke model
She's a millionaire
She will drown me in her bottle
Like I was never

But why won't she put up a fight for me?
Chain my leg
God knows it just isn't right
Why won't she put up a fight for me?
Chain my leg
But I know to put out the lights

Jackpot
You're the leader
I'm not
Jackpot
Don't stop
Jackpot
Deceiver of God
Jackpot
You're hot.
