Lyrics for Drowning Head First

Drowning head first in my blue life jacket Plucked from the rues of a funeral casket Here baby cheers when I'm wandering near you How's the broken hearted blues? Don't overthink when they say "I told you" Lay off the booze as the video blows you Bring on the cheer I want to be here but I've got this terrible problem Instrumental (chords of verse) All my friends had left the feeling I'd sober I was a chef on the Red October Who lost his spine, who's paid to feel fine And just for ugly babies who are often unkind I pushed away those concerts where the privileged come to play I chopped down disciples who'd been clean for just one day Despite my attitude was poised to discover I'd change the news to find just one jealous lover And I love her on time Loribeth: Chocomel, fanta pop, Easter basket Dos mojitos en la discothequa Not supposed to eat after midnight I think we have a terrible problem Together: Don't overthink when they say "I told you" Lay off the booze as the video blows you Bring on the cheer I want to be here but I think I'm turning into a monster deer
