There's this boy I know
He's afraid of the ocean
Never quite found love
But he drank the love potion

I'll be on the chain-smoking in the basement
Shattered like the windows

All my life I was born to lead
Worry not, just leave me be
I'll abide till the end
And I'll take it all on the chin for you, my friend

Parked my bag of bones at the back of the station
Said make yourself at home
So I started day drinking
Said: I believe in time after seven, eight or nine
You'll fall yourself to pieces

All my life I was born to bleed
Worry not, just leave me be
I'll abide till the end
And I'll take it all on the chin for you, my friend

All my life was I born to lead
Worry not, just leave me be
I'll abide till the end
And I'll take it all on the chin for you, my friend
I'll take it on the chin for you, my friend
I'll take it on the chin for you, my friend
