lyrics

Woke up on a strangers bed.
Light a cigarette,
From the gas oven in your head.
You want to curl up,
In the cloud that floated by,
It was shaped like a fox,
With pretty, pretty eyes.
We all bleed the same she said.
Got framed with that gun in my hand.
Coz, I don’t know where the rich kids go,
I will snort their blow
They will never know.
We all bleed the same she said.
Got framed with that knife in my hand.
The break of dawn. It breaks ya heart.
The break of dawn, it breaks ya heart,
That love it wasn’t so great.
