Doing The Damage (Liars Edge)
I need to get it together
I need to take it apart
I need a plan of the maze to make the most of my days
I need a life to make the most of my heart
I need to take it to pieces
I need to start it from new
I need to turn on the lights to make the most of my nights
I need to find myself a room with a view
So come on in pull up a chair
Lets go lose ourselves in there
You know man there won’t be any friction
Meet my good friend - Alcohol
Drugs ? I’m sure you’ve done 'em all
Come and meet my oldest friend - Addiction
I keep doing it - I keep doing it - I keep doing it
I keep doing the damage
I keep doing the damage
I keep doing the damage
I’ve got to write a new chapter
I’ve got to turn a new page
I need to read up the laws and find the sanity clause
I need to wisen up and act my age
I need to shut out the shadows
I need to shut down my brain
Its the finest of lines between the two states of mind
So which is normal ? Fucking normal ? Insane ?
And it’s a crime that doesn’t pay
To think too deeply anyway
It just (de) generates delusion
Meet my best man - Doctor Freud
And my mistress - Paranoid
Come and meet my closest friend - Confusion
I keep doing it - I keep doing it - I keep doing it
I keep doing the damage
I keep doing the damage
I keep doing the damage
So come on in pull up a chair
Lets go lose ourselves in there
You know man - this isn't science fiction
Meet my good friend - Alcohol
Drugs ? I’m sure you’ve done 'em all
Come and meet my oldest friend - Addiction
And keep doing the damage (8)
I'm damaged
