You’re quick to judge the way I live my life
You’re just a victim to your wicked device
I say I see black you tell me to see white
I say I see dark you tell me just to see the light
Whisky in my pocket and I’m on the run got fire in my heart gonna let it burn
Try my luck on the sunset strip and find myself a harlot with a stiff upper lip
The only card for which I got time is the credit card I use to cut my line
Take my money you can take my life you’re two sharp sides of a switch blade knife
You ask why I prefer a whisky haze
It ain’t ideal but its better than countin’ days
No pleasure cruise I don’t enjoy
You’re two sides of a counterfeit coin
Whisky in my pocket and I’m on the run got fire in my heart gonna let it burn
Try my luck on the sunset strip and find myself a harlot with a stiff upper lip
The only card for which I got time is the credit card I use to cut my line
Take my money you can take my life you’re two sharp sides of a switch blade knife
