lyrics

Because, in love,
you have the most twisted luck drunk, you weep like a kid

because morning in your eyes
has grown dark
drunk, you weep like a kid

because your head's not screwed on straight
because your beauty was a whore
because your friends were motherfuckers
because there's a fool in tales of lore

drunk, you weep like a kid

because your education was a joke
because your laugh became a howl
because the pale faces of the past left in your heart a wound so foul

drunk, you weep like a kid

and despite it all, you still believe
that love is the ultimate commandment what's worse: at the slightest excuse you drink off your face

and drunk, you weep like a kid

you say your country has a taste for sorrow that's why your mother died young
you say your friends fell in love with girls but you fell for cotton dolls

you whose tears fall like bricks
in your heart, a branch still blooms

your drinking buddy couldn't have imagined:
drunk, you weep like a kid
