Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well this city's put me through the wash
Mmm, I've been living here for you
Well I used to take my women on the rocks
And they used to wear out my ballroom shoes
[Verse 2]
Well you know that I bought you many drinks
Oh, I found hope on your machine
Well you didn't answer my request
You left my whole world on your string
[Verse 3]
Well that's your thing
[Verse 4]
Well I see the words left on the screen
Yeah, you know they're bursting just for me
Well you know that I've known you since we were 3
Oh, we fell in love at 17
[Verse 5]
Well so I say what did I learn, what did I learn?
I said, oh you learned me the heart
Well your lies will burn in alcohol
To sterilize the perfect parts
[Verse 6]
Well at least that's a start
