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

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

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

I need a drink

I need a cigarette

I need a drink

Something clicked and I fell off the edge

I bashed my head again and again

I lost myself in life’s of shame

How could I face the morning clawing up at me?

I need a cigarette

I need a drink

I need a cigarette

I need a drink

I need a cigarette

I need a drink

I need a cigarette

I need a drink
