[Verse 1]
I met Tommy boy
He was out on a trial
He hollered out:
"Lemme get you a drink"
He ruled with joy
His pain empire
I drank it down
And let it sink
He pulled me in
It was really quite frightening
Through troubled water
I could not see

[Chorus]
Blow up, blow out
Hand me your lighter
Grow up, shout out
Got a tattoo
Blow up, blow out
I’ll be a fighter for you
Won’t let me down
(I got up and took a walk upon you)

[Verse 2]
I drank it down
Swallowed me whole
A king of pain
Triumphantly
He ruled with joy
His pain empire
I let him reign
Pour down on me
[Chorus]
Blow up, blow out
Hand me your lighter
Grow up, shout out
Got a tattoo
Blow up, blow out
I’ll be a fighter for you
Won’t let me down

[Post-Chorus]
And I, I’m doing quite alright
Most everything is fine
Not suicidal, you’re right
I used to be

[Bridge]
Blow up, blow out
Hand me your lighter
Grow up, shout out
Got a tat-
Blow, oh, blow, blow, blow
Blow, oh, blow

[Post-Chorus]
And I, I’m doing quite alright
Most everything is fine
Not suicidal, you’re right
I used to be
(I got up and took a walk upon you)
