Old 97s - Adelaide lyrics

rate me

Heaven i need drug

Her eyes are all but fixed upon her coffee cup

And looking down she tells you things are looking up

Take another slug

Heaven I had a dream

But now my lifes a nightmare of efficiency

She rattles off the things she never got for free

Gearing up to scream

I remember when

I had you and you had so much promise then

You promised me that you would never leave again

To be broken you were made Adelaide

Heaven i need a rest

I recognized the voices talking in my head

I couldnt make out everything the voices said

Loving you is a test

I remember when

I had you and you had so much promise then

you promised me that you would never leave again

To be broken you were made Adelaide

Heaven i need a drink

Im here because they're paying me to do my thing

They never specify what it is i should bring

Im right up on the brink

I remember when

I had you and you had so much promise then

You promised me that you would never leave again

To be broken you were made Adelaide
