Initiation
[Intro: Cedric Bixler-Zavala]
I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N
Follow you home after every show

[Verse 1: Cedric Bixler-Zavala]
Perforated into tiny fragments
Heavy breathing's your new fan club
A John Hancock with the safety off
After every show
And how this pedestal fits like a glove
Such a pity, I built no ladder from the roots
And above I'll be hacking off
After every show

[Chorus: Cedric Bixler-Zavala, Jim Ward]
I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N
Initiation
I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N

I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N
Initiation
What!
What you doin'?
There's no restrainin' order to keep me from you
Yeah you
Initiation
Yeah you
What!
Said, what you doing?
The parting contestants never win
Initiation
Parting contestants never seem to win
[Verse 2: Cedric Bixler-Zavala]
I watch you clap your hands by your stage
Lend me your ears for just another page
In the book that your friend signed yesterday
When I told you not to bother to holler
Your telephone's the one that helped
Me wrap the cord around your neck
You know, you're beautiful when you're
Dead!

[Chorus: Cedric Bixler-Zavala, Jim Ward]
I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N

What!
What you doin'?
There's no restrainin' order to keep me from you
Yeah you
Initiation
Yeah you
What!
Said, what you doing?
There's no restrainin' order to keep me from you
Initiation
Parting contestants never seem to win
