lyrics
I think I swallowed my own sweet tooth
Craved something sour, and that something was you
You brought me flowers, rotted in half a day
Dead perfume lingers, pooling in the parquet
It’s been pretty cool for May
It’s been a stolid, salty spring
I tried my best to let the light in
When you caught and bleached that black cat
Well I think I got my magic back!
And now I know it’s never been sink or swim,
it’s sink or die
I think I swallowed my own sweet tooth
Craved something sour, and that something was you
You brought me sunshine, that the wind chased away
So I sit sulking, with my slims in this dark cafe
Chasing my troubles away
With this half empty bottle of Tanqueray
Why does gin always make my hands shake?
I’m too drunk, I better be on my way
Craved something sour, and that something was you
You brought me flowers, rotted in half a day
Dead perfume lingers, pooling in the parquet
It’s been pretty cool for May
It’s been a stolid, salty spring
I tried my best to let the light in
When you caught and bleached that black cat
Well I think I got my magic back!
And now I know it’s never been sink or swim,
it’s sink or die
I think I swallowed my own sweet tooth
Craved something sour, and that something was you
You brought me sunshine, that the wind chased away
So I sit sulking, with my slims in this dark cafe
Chasing my troubles away
With this half empty bottle of Tanqueray
Why does gin always make my hands shake?
I’m too drunk, I better be on my way
