She kinda makes me happy And she kinda makes me tired Even though I'm worried She just says what she's gonna say We might spend our time In the hotel lounge where we go to sleep Drinkin' whiskey rye We were thinkin' if I should stay Not knowin' all the others That were singin' songs of older days And we just sang along With a smile from ear to ear And she might think I'm stunned By the words that she said once again But I know this one is true So I sing it just for you But it's just a lust for life It's just my lust for life I just wanna tell ya That I'm not another runaway 'Cause oh my dear I tell ya That it's just a lust for life She might come to tell me That I'm livin' like an animal But oh my dear I know But it's just a lust for life But it's just a lust for life And she's just my liquid love Mama always told me Don't you fall in love with stupid girls But I know this one is different 'Cause she's made of liquid love And you might get to know her Yeah she comes from a place called Baltimore And she lives inside a bottle With a lid upon her neck I just wanna tell ya That I'm not a nother runaway 'Cause oh my dear I tell ya That it's just a lust for life She might come to tell me That I'm livin' like an animal But oh my dear I know But it's just a lust for life But it's just a lust for life And she's just my liquid love Now I'm sober She's heading back to stay Blackout in the hotelroom But you'd never to the same This blackout that I told ya And the love you used to fake She slips right back where the darkness is And she hopes that I'll complain And yeah they used to love you And they want you more and more Oh my dear I'm tellin' you That I want you even more You might say you're not alive And I never meant to blame Yeah I know my heart is a mess in me But you're just the same I just wanna tell ya That I'm not another runaway 'Cause oh my dear I tell ya That it's just a lust for life She might come to tell me That I'm livin' like an animal But oh my dear I know But it's just a lust for life It's just a lust for life It's just a lust for life It's just a lust for life 'Cause it's just a lust for life It's just a lust for life It's just a lust for life It's just a lust for life 'Cause it's just a lust for life It's just a lust for life
