You took me home I drank too much 'Cause of you my liver turned to dust Cold rust taste A cruel creeping cold pain Do you understand what I mean? When you feel your soul drop to the floor Like a hole, like an open bleeding sore Then you'll have bled like I bled And you'll have wept as I've wept Suck me down, it's time to rock and roll Let's hit the bar, let's lose control One false move, you took me home One false move, you're all alone But it looks so good and it feels so nice I paid the price I'll cut you out just to hear you scream Get away from, get away from me And I can feel my heartbeat racing As I realize what I must do Get away from Get away from Get away from you I should have turned and ran like hell Last time I got the taste of you I should have turned and ran like hell And I'll see we're through I should have turned and ran like hell Last time I got the taste of you I should have turned and ran like hell And I'll see we're through And I'll see we're through You fell upon me like a plague Weakness, sweet weakness But I digress after all this You're just like all the rest Suck me down, it's time to rock and roll Let's hit the bar, let's lose control One false move, you took me home One false move, you're all alone
