The Rakes

Something Clicked And I Fell Off The Edge

The Rakes


When I was younger I felt so pure 
I didn't know corruption waited for me 
I tried to duck, I tried to freeze 
Tried to bury my head in the sand 
But the sand it turned to mud 
And in the mud is where I got stuck 
But the sand it turned to mud 
And in the mud is where I got stuck 

Ahooo! ahooo! ahooo! ahooo! 

I've seen the older men who smelt like booze 
... in their clothes (?) 
How could they face the morning 
With their life and teeth in a mess 

Ahooo! ahooo! ahooo! ahooo! 

I tried cigarettes, I tried booze 
I tried tip-ex and I tried glue 
All my feelings and morals are wrong 
Cause all the chemicals that I have done 
They turn them on and off 
They turn them on and off 

I need a cigarette (ahooo!) 
I need a drink (ahooo!) 
I need a cigarette (ahooo!) 
I need a drink (ahooo!) 

Something clicked and I fell off the edge 
I bashed my head again and again 
I lost myself in lifes of shame 
How could I face the morning clawing up at me? 

I need a cigarette (ahooo!) 
I need a drink (ahooo!) 
I need a cigarette (ahooo!) 
I need a drink (ahooo!) 

I need a cigarette (ahooo!) 
I need a drink (ahooo!) 
I need a cigarette (ahooo!) 
I need a drink (ahooo!)
