Sucked Sweet - The Cribs

Sucked sweet

We’re fading together

Still at war

Refused the white feather

From yourself and what you believe

Made yourself harder to see

But conjoined you’re stuck to me

And I’m convinced all the things I can’t tell you

Could lead to death by misadventure

An explosion of the lungs

A choking on my tongue

Did you stand beneath the sun even once?

The things we held inside us are now trying to escape

Almost makes me wish we’d burned in the first blaze

Stuck between the worlds so if we have to watch it die

Let’s just hope the downswing is as thrilling as the ride

And the clothes don’t fit well anymore

You lived long enough to become bored

The black dog lives in your head

And milked until you bled

Ignore what Candy said

She won’t help you…

The things we held inside us are now trying to escape

Almost makes me wish we’d burned in the first blaze

Stuck between the worlds so if we have to say goodbye

Let’s just make the downswing as thrilling as the ride

You can’t be kept warm by love

If you never get close enough
