27 |
| You said it’s not you, it’s me |
| With a revolver in my teeth |
| But you turned away instead |
| Threw the gun upon the bed |
| And we left in separate cars |
| You told me to pretend |
| I could taste life on the air |
| Despite the absence of an end |
| When you’re lying in your deathbed |
| I hope I appear in your head |
| Baby, I’ll be dead by then |
| I burned out at 27 |
| Oh you should have killed me |
| It lingers like a dream |
| It lingers like a dream |
| All my well-thought through retorts |
| All my last laugh movie scenes |
| Just one thing before I go |
| One more thing before I leave |
| Failed assassin, you should know |
| One more trick inside my sleeve |
| When you’re lying in your deathbed |
| I hope I appear in your head |
| Baby, I’ll be dead by then |
| I burned out at 27 |
| After years of drink and dance |
| And wild well-publicised romances |
| Oh, you should have killed me |
| When you had the chance |
| You really should have killed me when you had the chance |
| My heart is still beating |
| But it feels like an elevator trapped between floors |
| My lungs are still breathing |
| Like the airbags in the crashing of an empty car |
| And you’ll live to see your name |
| Published in my scathing memoirs |
| And you’ll live to rue the failure |
| Of not crushing all of my heart |
| Why don’t you come back and finish off the job? |
