It was a dusty old night And I'm the first to admit it I'm sure I upset someone But my memory has chosen to omit it A tiny voice was telling me I should cool it Chewing my face off Talking absolute rubbish The first line hit me like a kick in the face Thought I better have another just in case Next thing I knew my heart was under attack Bought a one way ticket to hell And back! One Way Ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell and back One way ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell and back I'm always trying to keep my vices under wraps But a coach load of mutes would appear talkative chaps They seemed fit to join me for a couple of hits But my septum is in tatters And I've still got the runs Burn for a moment then you kick like a mule Strangers would agree that it was rocket fuel Several lines are chocking like a glorious game Bought a one way ticket to hell And back! One Way Ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell and back One way ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell and back Stick it up your nose! Woohoo! Always cold repeating myself, except I'm getting slightly louder Pausing long enough to snort that white powder Wheels steering off but I'm still on track Bought a one way ticket to hell And back! One way ticket to hell and back (yeah) Bought a one way ticket to hell and back(ooh yeah) One way ticket to hell and back, Bought a one way ticket to hell (oh yeah) One way ticket to hell and back (woo!) Bought a one way ticket to hell and back One way ticket to hell and back, Bought a one way ticket to hell
