Something clicked and i fell off the edge

When I was younger I felt so pure
I didn't know corruption waited for me
I tried to duck, I tried to freeze
Tried to bury my head in the sand
But the sand it turned to mud
And in the mud is where I got stuck
But the sand it turned to mud
And in the mud is where I got stuck

Ahooo! ahooo! ahooo! ahooo!

I've seen the older men who smelt like booze
... in their clothes (?)
How could they face the morning
With their life and teeth in a mess

Ahooo! ahooo! ahooo! ahooo!

I tried cigarettes, I tried booze
I tried tip-ex and I tried glue
All my feelings and morals are wrong
Cause all the chemicals that I have done
They turn them on and off
They turn them on and off

I need a cigarette (ahooo!)
I need a drink (ahooo!)
I need a cigarette (ahooo!)
I need a drink (ahooo!)

Something clicked and I fell off the edge
I bashed my head again and again
I lost myself in lifes of shame
How could I face the morning clawing up at me?

I need a cigarette (ahooo!)
I need a drink (ahooo!)
I need a cigarette (ahooo!)
I need a drink (ahooo!)

I need a cigarette (ahooo!)
I need a drink (ahooo!)
I need a cigarette (ahooo!)
I need a drink (ahooo!)
