Over and over in my head, still spinning I took the fall and you went missing Colder and colder but I kept swimming Upstream and for no good reason Now that I'm old you'd think I'd learn my lesson But I can't commit to the convalescence All that it shows is a misdirection Upstream into nothing You used to beat, beat, beat me like a drum Now I'm a song that you rarely hum You can beat, beat, beat me 'til I'm numb 'Til I'm black and blue, 'til I'm out of blood Light me up, I'm a cheap cigarette Blow me out with your one last breath Said you hate the taste What did you expect when you light me up like a cheap cigarette? Over and over in my head still spinning I said it all but you don't listen Colder and colder but we kept swimming Upstream into nothing You used to beat, beat, beat me like a drum Now I'm a song that you rarely hum You can beat, beat, beat me 'til I'm numb 'Til I'm black and blue, 'til I'm out of blood Light me up, I'm a cheap cigarette Blow me out with your one last breath Said you hate the taste What did you expect when you light me up like a cheap cigarette? Beat, beat, beat me like a drum (drum) Beat, beat, beat me 'til I'm numb (numb) Light me up, I'm a cheap cigarette Blow me out with your one last breath Said you hate the taste What did you expect when you light me up like a cheap cigarette? Light me up, I'm a cheap cigarette Blow me out with your one last breath Said you hate the taste What did you expect when you light me up like a cheap cigarette? Over and over in my head still spinning (When you light me up like a cheap cigarette) Over and over in my head still spinning (When you light me up) like a cheap cigarette
