Temper, temper, 
I never wanted to be, 
Temper, temper, 
I never wanted to be, 
Mr., Mr., 
I can't hold it in. 
No... Never, never, 
I had a feeling this would, 
Never, never, 
I had a feeling this would never leave, 
I've got a wick to burn my skin.

Temper, temper,

I can't hold it in. 
No... Never, never, 
I had a feeling this would, 
Never, never, 
I had a feeling this would never leave, 
I've got a wick to burn my skin, yeah. 
And so I bottled it up and kept the words to myself, 
And let the anger collect for a better day. 
When the words are aged, 
The war is waged, 
And you'll watch me blow. 
I can be your powder keg, 
If you can be my fuse. 
Clever, clever, 
Give me a reason to be, 
Clever, clever, 
Give me a reason to be, 
Placing all my trust in your hands. 
No... Never, never, 
Don't even fuck with me, 
Never, never, 
I tell myself that 
I know, But 
I'll never know more than your name. 
So I bottled it up and kept the words to myself, 
And let the anger collect for a better day. 
When the words are aged, 
The war is waged, 
And you'll watch me blow. 
I can be your powder keg, 
If you can be my fuse. 
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't worry doll, 
I only kill him in my sleep. 
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock at your door. 
You know I will send him out to sea. 
So I bottled it up and kept the words to myself, 
And let the anger collect for a better day. 
When the words are aged, 
The war is waged, 
And you'll watch me blow. 
I can be your powder keg, 
If you can be my fuse. 
Temper, temper,
