Lyrics
Sweet Angel Morphine
Said I fold down by the water. It pulls me in when I'm under. 'Cause I'm getting old, tired and my heart hurts and I just want to be loved by her.
So if you're wondering just how I'm gonna go on living, well I won't.
Centerfold, I'm out of California. Threw out your picture on the dashboard and kissed the window, so bye-bye love. I just can't function. I'm upside down, the wheel keeps spinning.
So if you're wonderin just how I'm gonna go on living, well I won't.
So if you're wonderin just how I'm gonna go on living, well I won't.
I'm at the end of my rope, I ain't ever goin' home. Ain't gonna go out in a fit, I'll just drink myself to death and I'll be done. Don't see no other way, its passed time that I was saved. Some people just ain't worth a damn, so forget my name.
I fell in love with morphine, she dug her nails in. Sweet angel, release me from this. I wrote a note to my folks saying, "You never knew him, don't come lookin' I'll be lost somewhere between here and hell."
I fell in love with morphine, she dug her nails in. Sweet angel, release me from this. I wrote a note to my folks saying, "You never knew him, don't come lookin' I'll be lost somewhere between here and hell."
Must have been born under a bad sign, a dark shadow in the sunlight, you say you know, no you don't, you don't do just let me go. I walked naked into the desert, blindfolded with the question, when the hell can I be done? Yeah, when can I go home?
