Mark Mallman — Death Wish lyrics

Lyrics

I never used to get suspicious
Funny how we change into the people we do
I hear em talking smack about the kids today
It’s always been the same way
Burying the needle in my daddy’s car
Scaring all the ghosts along the boulevard
Back streets, fast speeds, in back seats
Thin lines, high crimes, hysteria
Heart attacks, tight slacks, glass packs
8 tracks of rock and roll in stereo
Tonight I died just a little bit
Are you lying in love without me?
I never had a death wish
But everybody’s got to go And tonight I died just a little bit
Maybe I was stepping by the wrong door
Maybe you were sleeping with the radio on Maybe if I see you next summer
Maybe I’ll be keeping my sunglasses on Maybe you’ll remember when you sober up baby what your make up wouldn’t cover up Hard knocks, cheap shots, back talk
Shell shock, next stop, hysteria
Highways, high stakes, no brakes
No plates, and rock and roll in stereo
Tonight I died just a little bit
Are you lying in love without me?
I never had a death wish
But everybody’s got to go And tonight I died just a little bit
Whenever I come downtown
And I throw my weight around
Even though I’m just a lightweight
I’m gonna put the hammer down
Babe I’m getting over you now
