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! )
