Johnny Manchild & The Poor Bastards
Stay Awake
So long Tramadol, we knew you well
Slow crawl above it all, how we fell
Three little lines a kiss, goodbye never again
Oh my sweet dependency, this is the end

Bitter drips of happiness, it overwhelms
Let me go and take control, your hand's at the helm
We never liked to talk about our little crimes
To you, my sweet goodnight
Hold my head upright

It just ain't sane keeping you around
Sit and drown without a sound
I can't hang around this place no more
You wear me out, you bring me down
Stay awake, until the morning comes

Rings of light and narrow sights take a seat
It's best to keep the music loud and tap our feet
Lay your head and wake up dead, tonight we stay alive
Dance our way through death and daze, and maybe we survive

Everything is different when you're waiting for the light
Make it through the night with you and then I'll hold you tight
But when my gut is empty and my vision is renewed
I'll walk away from you
I will not die with you
It just ain't sane keeping you around
Sit and drown without a sound
I can't hang around this place no more
You wear me out you bring me down
Stay awake, until the morning comes
