[Chorus]
Please forgive me cos I've got some issues but I’m really trying
Plus all the shit that I've been smoking, just a way for me to hide my fears
Just let me know if that's a problem
Cos to be honest, I’m not really trying to dry no tears
But thank you for the tissues anyhow
I'll see you later
Probably best if I don't hang around

[Verse]
Flashing lights like morse code
As if the message to be recieved is dash dot 'til oblivion
Glass on my fuel gauge
Still good for a minute
And a couple miles later caught Lucifer's minions
Few shots to the head should hopefully keep him from dragging me down the tarmac back to a grey jungle, the city
With all it's sinners and snakes
Winners and crowns to be claimed
Killers and paths to be made

[Verse]
Look, thats when my mother called
She was looking for her only son
Said all he needed was to skip town
She asked him what the fuck you running from?
What the fuck you running from?
Frankly the walls of the city were suffocating
And trying to swim on a river of tonic and Tanqueray with a doggy paddle
Hardly brought the results that I craved
Searching for new territories
Or far beyond where I stayed
That's when a voice told me to jump in the whip and just split
In need of a sweet escape to rid the bitter taste on my lips
Dreaming of ice cream, cookies, salted caramel
Dripped to accompany a great venture
A little break for a bit
Uh, yeah
Now I need a place to rest my head for the night
Or better yet some company and a friend
Just lit that second retina's catching a glimpse of a sign
Leading to somewhere that could maybe take me out of my head
Uh, yeah
To the door and was met with a face
Female, looking wrinkled and aged
But she didn’t really fuck about, but asked simple and plain if I was here to party and boogie until the moon went away
As it happens, I got no plans
Tonight I could be partial to a little peak if it’s alright
She said "of course but before I can be letting you in
I have to ask - have you got anything you shouldn't have, Xin?"
[Chorus]
Please forgive me cos I’ve got some issues but I'm really trying
Plus all the shit that I've been smoking, just a way for me to hide my fears
Just let me know if that's a problem
Cos to be honest, I’m not really trying to dry no tears
But thank you for the tissues anyhow
I'll see you later
Probably best if I don't hang around

[Verse]
Check, so now I'm walking in
Didn't really think that I needed this
Little celebration of good times
Well to be honest, lately I've been avoiding them
Sooner or later, boy will need his remedy
Then as the phone cue, she hit him with that side eye
Rockin' orange flares
Straight out of the seventies
Brown eyes, blonde hair
Hard to tell if an invite
Whatever happens, I guess it's meant to be
So, sip of courage like a dog to a bone
They say dutch plus the liquor make a confident bloke
Especially under circumstances where a chance to elope with a madam of mystery like Murder She Wrote could be on the horizon
Still, Xin usually an hombre with an iron will
But it's hard to think straight when you're higher than Orion's belt
This game's sloppy but I'm guessing only time will tell
Fast forward - didn't go too well
Funny how cloudy your mind can become off some potential fornication
A chance wasted, consequence when you aren't patient
You can't blame him
Lost his sense when he started taking shots to the head, trying to fill the void of a heart vacant
[Chorus]
Please forgive me cos I've got some issues but I'm really trying
Plus all the shit that I've been smoking, just a way for me to hide my fears
Just let me know if that's a problem
Cos to be honest, I'm not really trying to dry no tears
But thank you for the tissues anyhow
I'll see you later
Probably best if I don't hang around
