Something Clicked And I Fell Off The Edge Lyrics - Singles - The Rakes

When I was younger I felt so pure 

I didn't know corruption waited for me 

I tried to duck, I tried to freeze 

Tried to bury my head in the sand 

But the sand it turned to mud 

And in the mud is where I got stuck 

But the sand it turned to mud 

And in the mud is where I got stuck 

I've seen the older men who smelt like booze 

[Incomprehensible] in their clothes 

How could they face the morning 

With their life and teeth in a mess 

I tried cigarettes, I tried booze 

I tried tip-ex and I tried glue 

All my feelings and morals are wrong 

'Cause all the chemicals that I have done 

They turn them on and off 

They turn them on and off 

I need a cigarette 

I need a drink 

I need a cigarette 

I need a drink 

Something clicked and I fell off the edge 

I bashed my head again and again 

I lost myself in life's of shame 

How could I face the morning clawing up at me? 

I need a cigarette 

I need a drink 

I need a cigarette 

I need a drink 

I need a cigarette 

I need a drink 

I need a cigarette 

I need a drink
