[Verse 1]
I was addicted to you, but I didn't know it
You were afflicted by booze
You didn't show it, ah
Life is a velvet crowbar
Hitting you over the head
You're bleeding but you want more
"This is so like you," I said
Put yourself on back to bed

[Chorus]
You're like crack to me, I don't want to leave
I'm watching you sleep, afraid you'll stop breathing
My baby's on his eighth life, darlin'
Staying with him till the mornin'

You're like crack to me, so fun I can't see
With your golden grill, your purple dream
My baby's on his eighth life, darlin'
Gonna watch him till the mornin'

[Verse 2]
I was addicted to you, didn't wanna blow it
You were a dick with your crew
Always on the road
You wanna touch life so hard
Why can't you give it a rest?
You're not that bright for a star
Burned yourself out, nothing left
Burned yourself out, nothing left
[Chorus]
You're like crack to me, I don't want to leave
I'm watching you sleep, afraid you'll stop breathing
My baby's on his eighth life, darlin'
Staying with him till the mornin'

You're like crack to me, so fun I can't see
With your golden grill, your purple dream
My baby's on his eighth life, darlin'
Gonna watch him till the mornin'

[Bridge]
Styrofoam on the microphone
Can't give it up, can't go it alone
Flame-colored paradise for you, darlin'
But death doesn't come with a warnin'

Life is a velvet crowbar
Hitting you over the head
You're bleeding syrup amour
Bleeding to death

[Chorus]
You're like crack to me, I don't want to leave
I'm watching you sleep, afraid you'll stop breathing
My baby's on his last life, darlin'
Staying with him till the morning
You're like crack to me, so fun I can't see
With your golden grill, your purple dream
My baby's on his eighth life, darlin'
Gonna watch him till the mornin'

[Outro]
My baby's on his last life, darlin'
Gonna stay with him till mornin'
My baby's on his eighth life, darlin'
And death doesn't come with a warnin'
