The Rakes - Something Clicked And I Fell Off The Edge lyrics

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!)
