lyrics

Baby reach way down deep in your purse
Either help me make it better or help me make it worse
Don't just stand there looking pretty
I could do that myself
Just find me something bad
And then get me some help
Cause we're gonna need a little of my innocent blood to spill
And if I can't make it work tonight nobody ever will
Makes me wish some stranger could know how hard I tried
But I tried and I failed like I lived and I died

Baby get your jacket with the nice think lining
I'm going to put some things in there that I don't plan on finding
I plan to say some stupid things I hope that you won't be minding
Keep in ming they are just stupid
That don't mean I'm lying
And the lies that I get back I don't plan on buying
I haven't really got the knack but that don't keep me from trying
And don't think twice if later tonight you find me crying
Cause I'm trying and I'm failing like I'm living and I'm dying
