Can't stop thinking must of been tripping this evening My mind is racing demons and all of my feelings are numb Yeah and when I roll with my head in the wind And I feel like the king of the Dead men wishing they had gotten together with you girl But you're a dirty little liar with a message of obsession to come You got your head in the clouds and your world's upside down Get away from the life you're living Get away from the man that's stealing your life Get away from the drugs you're taking Get away from the film of sex in your life Can't stop drinking I'm cold kicking and bleeding The wine is numbing feelings and all of my memories are gone Yeah and when I roll with my head in the wind And I feel like the king of the Dead men wishing they had gotten together with you girl But you're a dirty little liar with a message of obsession to come You got your head in the clouds and your world's upside down Get away from the life you're living Get away from the man that's stealing your life Get away from the drugs you're taking Get away from the film of sex in your life
