lyrics

Last night I got so drunk
I fell in love with almost everyone
(and I started thinking)
It’s funny how the passage of my life has been
Going round in circles since I was sixteen
And mostly I’ve been falling on my arse.

I found you with you head on the throne
You said come here and also leave you alone
And it’s highly unoriginal but also true
That I’d do anything that you want me to
Just as soon as I finish this glass

I surrender I surrender
My heart is feeling tender
Tonight I’ll say I love you
But I probably won’t remember

You know I sometimes speak out of turn
That's a lesson that I'll never learn
I can nver tell if i'm being sarcastic
I try to tell a joke but it comes out spastic
He who laughs longest
Laughs last

I’m half hearted I’m half hearted
I can’t finish what I started
I let my mouth do the talking
But my mouth got too unguarded

This Adam never needed an Eve
To be tempted and to be deceived
The evil thing that’s coiled up inside my head
Makes me say things that I wish I’d never said
It’s the serpent
Oh the serpent in the grass
