Adelaide lyricsby Old 97's
Heaven, I need a drug;
Her eyes are all but fixed upon her coffee cup. Lookin' down, she tells me things are lookin' up. Take another slug. Heaven, I had a dream; Now my life's a nightmare of efficiency. She rattles off the things she never got for free, Gearin' up to scream. I rememember when I had you, and you had so much promise then. Promised me that you would never leave again. To be broken you were made, Adelaide. Heaven, I need a rest. I recognized the voices talkin' in my head; I couldn't make out ev'rything the voices said. Lovin' you's a test. I remember when I had you, and you had so much promise then. Promised me that you would never leave again. To be broken you were made, Adelaide. Heaven, I need a drink. I'm here because they're payin' me to do my thing; They never specify what it is I should bring. I'm right up on the brink. I remember when I had you, and you had so much promise then. Promised me that you would never leave again. To be broken you were made, Adelaide I remember when I had you, and you had so much promise then. Promised me that you would never leave again To be broken you were made, Adelaide. To be broken you were made, Adelaide. To be broken. |
