Livia
They say that cocaine is the rich man’s drug
Have you sayin’ somethin’ stupid like I’ve fallen in love
A little glass of whisky down the QMU
And suddenly your head starts gettin’ to you
If I was sober I’d see you wasting my time
See that I’d been hung out to dry on a line
Take a little look inside and you might find
You thought you’d lost your heart but you just lost your mind
Livia you’re driving me insane
Chase my tail I’m playin’ a loser’s game
Climbin’ walls cos I can’t understand
Looks like I’ve been dealt the dead man’s hand
Eight a.m my head’s like the hammer from hell
Half alive or half dead oh I can’t tell
Sunlight comin’ in like a bolt through my brain
And my heart’s still goin’ like a runaway train
If I was sober I’d see you wasting my time
See that I’d been hung out to dry on a line
Take a little look inside and you might find
You thought you’d lost your heart but you just lost your mind
Livia you’re driving me insane
Chase my tail I’m playin’ a loser’s game
Climbin’ walls cos I can’t understand
Looks like I’ve been dealt the dead man’s hand
Lookin’ back now I feel a bit like a fool
I let you walk over me without you tryin’ to
You were a part of my heart but now you’re just a line on my face
I’m movin’ on up and gettin’ outta this place
If I was sober I’d see you wasting my time
See that I’d been hung out to dry on a line
Take a little look inside and you might find
You thought you’d lost your heart but you just lost your mind
Livia you’re driving me insane
Chase my tail I’m playin’ a loser’s game
Climbin’ walls cos I can’t understand
Looks like I’ve been dealt the dead man’s hand
