You were afflicted by booze,

"This is so like you," I said,

"Put yourself on back to bed."

I'm watchin' you sleep,
G
Pray you'll start breathin'.

My baby's on his,

Eighth life darlin',

Till the mornin'.

You're like crack to me,
So fun I can't see.

With your golden grill,

Your purple dream.

Eighth life darlin'.

Gonna watch him,

Till the mornin'.
