Life Is Mean Lyrics

Tiger Lillies Life Is Mean

I pull the tourniquet and I'm left to drift away with my
dreams
My life is just a wreck, all hands have left the deck but
I dream
The drugs they fill my veins no one is to blame and I
dream
The world's a golden glow, a happy winning show and I
dream ...
Then cold turkey strikes and all these neon lights; life
is mean
I'll sweat and puke and blab until I'm on a marble slab;
life is mean
I crave for the next score as a thief or as a whore; life
is mean
It's a luxury u bet to have any self-respect; life is
mean
Then I commit the crime and it's back to scoring time
with my dreams
So the cycle spins and no one ever wins in my dreams
And this they call a crime trapped in addiction time;
life is mean
