Someone called me today Caught me looking the other way Got my head in wet sand, body stuck in mud Drowning in a pit of tar Leaning out a speeding car Won't let pain or pleasure pass me by Life is hell and death be heaven Turn back, bottle down, reached a dead end Spit out my mouth, nicotine burning Smoke rings cloud empty yearnings I'm not learning, I'm not learning, I'm not learning That you're not to cross the street For everybody that you meet Cars move fast on a busy road Pretty things melt my heart Beauty rips it apart And I'm coming undone like a dying rose Get fucked over by my friends Still I run right back to them And the sad truth of it is I always will Life is hell and death be heaven Turn back, bottle down, reached a dead end Spit out my mouth, nicotine burning Smoke rings cloud empty yearnings I'm not learning, I'm not learning, I'm not learning That you're not to cross the street For everybody that you meet Cars move fast on a busy road I'm Not Learning I'm not Learning
