[Verse 1] I was addicted to you, but I didn't know it You were afflicted by booze You didn't show it, ah [Pre-Chorus] Life is a velvet crowbar Hitting you over the head You're bleeding but you want more "This is so like you," I said Put yourself on back to bed [Chorus] You're like crack to me, I don't want to leave I'm watching you sleep, afraid you'll stop breathing My baby's on his eighth life, darling Staying with him till the morning You're like crack to me, so fun I can't see With your golden grill, your purple dream My baby's on his eighth life, darling Gonna watch him till the morning [Verse 2] I was addicted to you, didn't wanna blow it You were a dick with your crew Always on the road [Pre-Chorus 2] You wanna touch life so hard Why can't you give it a rest? You're not that bright for a star Burned yourself out, nothing left Burned yourself out, nothing left [Chorus] [Bridge] Styrofoam on the microphone Can't give it up, can't go it alone Flame-colored paradise for you, darling But d**h doesn't come with a warning [Pre-Chorus 3] Life is a velvet crowbar Hitting you over the head You're bleeding syrup amour Bleeding to d**h [Chorus] [Outro] My baby's on his last life, darling Gonna stay with him till morning My baby's on his eighth life, darling And d**h doesn't come with a warning
