lyrics
The only ones for me are the mad ones
I once read to agree with the last one, I trusted
Had to be a really damn one
Fucking crazy bitch, but we had fun, we we
Excuse my French when I lose my sense
Didn't notice how black a bruise could get
Found out a few things that you don't mix
A lesson a few friends ain't do so quick, so
Pour a little liquor out, figure out a different route
Once again here I am, strutting in, limping out
Back to the doghouse
Cat with her claws out
Track marks back on her arms now
Damn
I'm still sure life ain't a bitch
It's more like she just likes when you tip
Twelve steps yet likely to trip
I still think we might need a grip
I'm truly sorry, but
Things have happened, that
Are just beyond my, my my control oh oh
I'm truly sorry, but
Things have happened, that
Are just beyond my, my my control
Buy the ticket take the ride I once read
Trying to refund one night I once did
And much to my dismay
I woke up at gunpoint by a brighter day
Not trying to sound too heavy
Still got a grin on my mouth contrary
Still put a spin on doubt while betting
All against the house
Rock bottom rock steady
just how the weekday goes
Pulling out my hair's like my bboy pose
Perfectly like a sure-fired dose
To momentarily keep my third eye closed
Three sheets to the wind
Two since one then
Here we are again
Three sheets to the wind
Two since one then
Now how you doing again
I'm truly sorry, but
Things have happened, that
Are just beyond my, my my control oh oh
I'm truly sorry, but
Things have happened, that
Are just beyond my, my my control
I once read some people never go crazy
What a truly horrible life they must live
To agree for the most part
Consider this folk art
For fast learners with a slow-start
Cause I don't really know what success is
I just hope to get a track on your sex mix
Give back some perspective
On stilts trying to get back from this head trip
I'm truly sorry, but
Things have happened, that
Are just beyond my, my my control oh oh
I'm truly sorry, but
Things have happened, that
Are just beyond my, my my control
