lyrics

Face down in bed again. A swimming head again.
It’s been another rough night.
One less shoe again. This is getting expensive.
I can’t keep this up.
A couple paracetamol, and a greasy breakfast is what this situations begging for,
As your brain kicks open the door, to last nights events worth regretting oh…

I beg for the solution but I’m addicted to the cause
Bright lights ringing ears and hardwood floors.
You smoke your cigarette; she drinks just to forget,
We’ve all got our little vices.

Survived our reckless teenage years,
And now your graduating and I’ve got a career.
There goes the simpler stage of life.
Time to start paying taxes and giving back to this so called great society that moulded you and me;
Into the fine young men that we ought to be.
It’s still simple enough to scrape through the week for that repetitive weekend,
Put on your dancing shoes and pick your poison.
You’ve got ten minutes. It all kicks off again.

I beg for the solution but I’m addicted to the cause
Bright lights ringing ears and hardwood floors.
You smoke your cigarette; she drinks just to forget,
We’ve all got our little vices.
We’ve all heard those little voices.

Obsessive, compulsive, degenerate, present in most situations fuelled by bad ideas.
I’m wasted, debased, fell off my pedestal straight onto my face.

I beg for the solution but I’m addicted to the cause
Bright lights ringing ears and hardwood floors.
You smoke your cigarette; she drinks just to forget,
We’ve all the time to change.
