A SMALL VICTORY - HELL-BENT ON HEAVEN'S SMILE lyrics

rate me

Valium, blue lights flash and flicker to the beat

callow hearts spark in his burning blood shot eyes

consequence never reared its ugly head quite like this

and he will not be missed tonight one bit

but too heedless to make sense of this

hallucinations and this heave have got him thinking

am i passed out on the floor?

all i did was ask for one more

but now i'm only praying all get out of this dive

with a sinking in his chest

he'll one kill his conscience at best

but now he's only praying he'll get out alive

the dead weight on his shoulders keep him beat and bruised

bar the windows before the real world crashes in

the sharks will know that it is feeding time

send a signal before their teeth start sinking in too deep and too fast

he's just to slow to escape his past

the dizzy spells and throwing up have got him thinking

am i passed out on the floor?

all i did was ask for one more

but now i'm only praying all get out of this dive

with a sinking in his chest

he'll one kill his conscience at best

but now he's only praying he'll get out alive

who are you running from

and what are you running for

don't forget to tip your bartender

and we'll hit the dance floor [2x]

now he's thinking...

am i passed out on the floor?

all i did was ask for one more

but now i'm only praying all get out of this dive

with a sinking in his chest

he'll one kill his conscience at best

but now he's only praying he'll get out alive
