The tighter you wind it up The harder it's gonna hit you and The faster that you run is how much quicker it will catch you You can't escape from yourself (Repeat) You pushed it until it snapped But now I wouldn't turn your back cause When you least expect it's gonna Grab you by the neck kid and ... Now that you've made a mess Now that you've made a mess [Chorus]: Slingshot Slingshot The sum of all your actions Slingshot ? Slingshot get ya And it's coming back round Yes, it's coming back round ? Hey! Simmer down your temper now Don't inflame your problem With each step that you're making Sends you in the wrong direction Holding on to everything (Repeat) Love is given, taken away Never take more than you give I say Life has a way of telling us When your causing a mess or fuss and I can hear it coming closer (Repeat) [Chorus] What you give, it's coming back to you (Repeat x3) I can hear it coming closer (Repeat)
