POP WILL EAT ITSELF

"Wake Up, Time To Die"

(Vestan Pance)

[Intro:]
Glass jaw alcohol whore
Cardboard cutout lying on the floor
Lame brain's drunk again
Stupid dumb-dumb cold plumb insane

An alcohol whore is what I was before
Low-life day's erased in a purple haze
Maybe just a craze, a phase we were going through
Between me and you, the habit continues
Sobriety's deserted me once again
Surrender to the bender and no saying when
Chewing on a bottle of ignorant bliss
And needs must at times like this

[Chorus:]
Glass jaw alcohol whore
Cardboard cutout lying on the floor
Lame brain's drunk again
Stupid dumb-dumb cold plumb insane
I've felt worse and I've felt better
A human see-saw to the letter
Ooh, it makes me feel so bad, so nice
So bad and so nice

[Chorus:]
Glass jaw alcohol whore
Cardboard cut-out lying on the floor
Lame brain's drunk again
Stupid dumb-dumb cold plumb insane
I've felt worse and I've felt better
A human see-saw to the letter
Ooh, it makes me feel so bad, so nice
(So nice)

[Interlude]

Wake up... time to die

That old devil gravity's having its way with me
Bringing me down, surrounding me with misery
A high-tide suicide, a death ride, cut and dried
Inside, I can't hide, though I've tried
Confidence crumbling, can't talk, I'm mumbling
To myself, I'm stumbling for the top shelf
Get straight, got to decontaminate
Before it's too late

[Outro:]
(So bad, so nice)
(So nice)
(So bad, so nice)
(So nice)
(So nice)
(So bad, so nice)
(So nice)
(So bad, so nice)
(So nice)
(So bad, so nice)
(So nice)
(So bad, so nice)
I've felt worse and I've felt better
A human see-saw to the letter
Ooh, it makes me feel so bad, so nice
(So nice, so nice)
...Stupid dumb-dumb cold plumb insane
I've felt worse and I've felt better
A human see-saw to the letter
Ooh, it makes me feel so bad
(So nice, so nice)
