Old 97's
Adelaide

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Heaven, I need drug
Her eyes are all but fixed upon her coffee cup
And lookin' down she tells you things are lookin' up
Take another slug

[Verse 2]
Heaven, I had a dream
Now my life's a nightmare of efficiency
She rattles off the things she never got for free
Gearin' up to scream

[Chorus]
I remember when
I had you and you had so much promise then
You promised me that you would never leave again
To be broken, you were made, Adelaide

[Verse 3]
Heaven, I need a rest
I recognized the voices talkin' in my head
I couldn't make out everything the voices said
Loving you is a test
[Chorus]
I remember when
I had you and you had so much promise then
You promised me that you would never leave again
To be broken, you were made, Adelaide

[Instrumental]

Heaven, I need a drink
I'm here because they're payin' me to do my thing
They never specify what it is i should bring
I'm right up on the brink

[Chorus]
I remember when
I had you and you had so much promise then
You promised me that tou would never leave again
To be broken, you were made, Adelaide
I remember when
I had you and you had so much promise then
You promised me that tou would never leave again
To be broken, you were made, Adelaide

[Outro]
To be broken, you were made, Adelaide
To be broken
