Matt Pless - Dirty Needles lyrics

This one goes out to every Romeo who's wasting his time Waiting for the junkie angels in the Juliet line Where Pandora's primping pupils paint the perfect Monet Hanging locked away and lonesome next to Dorian Gray And as the poison drains my mind It leaves me wondering why I can't find A remedy that suits me well as you It's true, my baby's born to lose Because she's bringing out the worst in me But does the best she can She's casting off the lifeboats While I'm sinking as she swims And I've found myself a lover who'd be better as a friend Cause she plays with dirty needles and she's in my arms again She's from the wrong side of the track marks And I'm setting my sights On a candy-coated ticket to the train wreck tonight So I jumped a wallet rehab bound three sheets to the wind While her fire feeds the fever flaming under my skin And as the twinkle fades my eyes It shapes a face I hardly recognize She hides behind the boiling silver spoons Confused, like one who's been abused Because she's dancing 'round the disco lights Takes pride in all my shame The conscience points the fingers When there's no one left to blame Then I'll stop and ask in silence if the pleasure's worth the pain Cause she plays with dirty needles and she does it all in vain Black clouds, blue skies Little white-line lies Laugh out loud while the river rolls 'round Cure for boredom, habit forming Up all night while the river rolls 'round And when the turning kit unwinds And all the toxic phantoms run and hide From twelve-step fathers juggling the truth No use, I had to cut her loose She said "A woman is the open wound that vexes every man" Then softly kissed her scorpion and placed it in my hand Then she locked me in her magic lamp My wish is her demand Cause she plays with dirty needles And she fits the gla** syringe Cause she plays with dirty needles And she's in my arms again
