LYRICS:
**********************************************
I realize I missed a day
But I'm too wrecked to care anyway
I look around and see this face
What the hell have I lost my taste
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out
My head explodes, my ears ring
I can't remember just where I've been
The last thing that I recall
I got lost in a deep black hole
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out
Blackout,
I really had a blackout
Blackout,
I really had a blackout
Blackout,
I really had a blackout
Blackout,
I really had a blackout
I grab my things and make my run
On the way out, another one
Would like to know before I stop
Did I make it or did I flop
Don't want to find out
Just want to get out
Blackout,
I really had a blackout
Blackout,
I really had a blackout
Blackout,
I really had a blackout
Blackout,
I really had a blackout
Don't want to find out
Just want to get out
Blackout,
I really had a blackout
Blackout,
I really had a blackout
Blackout,
I really had a blackout
Blackout,
I really had a blackout
Blackout,
I really had a blackout
Blackout,
I really had a blackout!
