In vein, I seek farther, the needle closer, the little end The world is watching as I take my last breath The world is watching as I get undressed Coz I'm pretty like drugs The world is watching as my wings unfurl The world is watching the death of a girl Coz I'm pretty like drugs I load the gun and I'm out of the world, and I take it harder, coz oh Pretty oh Pretty like drugs I load the gun The world is watching with a pregnant pause The world is watching as I f*ck to applause The world is watching as I plant the last seed The world is watching me watching tv Coz I'm pretty like drugs I load the gun I wax and wane Subject all of my pain Onto you baby Coz I'm pretty like drugs
