Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
The world out there is like a hornets' nest It draws the life out of the good and feeds their blood to the rest You'll be a memory soon baby, and so will I So kiss me open-mouthed, 'cause we're too young to die [Chorus] We're on the downroad road We're on the downroad road We're on the downroad road Crawling towareds the bitter end Things are going fine now, but your luck could change You could find yourself the victim of someone's unholy rage So put your pretty lips where they can do some good You might think that you shouldn't But I really wish you would [Chorus] Yeah we're so close now, I'm in as deep as I'll get Your hair is soaked, your skin is slippery wet The world outside our window is about to explode Well, so am I sugar, so baby save my soul [Chorus]
