Life Is Mean by The Tiger Lillies Lyrics

I pull the tourniquet and Im left to drift away with my dreams
My life is just a wreck, all hands have left the deck but I dream
The drugs they fill my veins no one is to blame and I dream
The worlds a golden glow, a happy winning show and I dream
Then cold turkey strikes and all these neon lights; life is mean
Ill sweat and puke and blab until Im on a marble slab; life is mean
I crave for the next score as a thief or as a whore; life is mean
Its a luxury u bet to have any self-respect; life is mean
Then I commit the crime and its back to scoring time with my dreams
So the cycle spins and no one ever wins in my dreams
(And this they call a crime trapped in addiction time; life is mean) x2
