Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You got my name on the tip of your tongue
Ain't looking for no trouble, now the game has begun
Got a pretty face and a taste for blood
You sanctify your sin and then you tell me it's love
[PreChorus]
It’s on my mind over and over again
My body on your body, got no white picket fence
My demons call me baby, wear my halo of thorns
I’m a bad thing that you can’t ignore
[Chorus]
Psycho
I’m on a flight mode
It’s not a mind game
It’s called a choke hold
Say you wanna talk but all you do is talk
Your words play hide and seek
Rampage
Don’t need to translate
Think you fooled me once, now I'ma get you, checkmate
Head gone static, my heart on automatic
Wanna try me, take a seat
[Verse 2]
What you do to me
I’ll make you make a scene
Had a spark but you didn't know, I'm gasoline
Have you under me
But never over me
I'ma give it, give it, give it, give it dopamine
Think that you could have me with no consequence
Got a wicked pull that you don’t wanna forget
You're not messing with a God, you're messing with a monster
Watch your back, don't say I didn't warn you
[PreChorus]
It’s on my mind over and over again
My body on your body, got no line of defence
My demons call me baby, riding my dark horse
I'm a bad thing, leave you wanting more
[Chorus]
Psycho
I’m on a flight mode
It’s not a mind game
It’s called a choke hold
Say you wanna talk but all you do is talk
Your words play hide and seek
Rampage
Don’t need to translate
Think you fooled me once, now I'ma get you, checkmate
Head gone static, my heart on automatic
Wanna try me, take a seat
[PreChorus]
It’s on my mind over and over again
Didn’t think I need somebody or a white picket fence
My demons call me baby but I want you more
I’m a bad thing and I’ve set the score
[Outro]
Holding me close
Catching your breath
Got a wicked pull that you won’t forget
I turn around
My demons call
You're not messing with a God, you're messing with a monster
Watch your back, don't say I didn't warn you
