Little class suburb

Fondue parties
My mom and my dad

Drinks being drunk

And fights being had

She was four years older she made me a man

So addicted to sex
Every chance that I got

To a town made of glitter girls and cocaine friends

Got handed the dream by the age of eighteen

Saw more than most people that I know had ever seen

Played every bar drank till black and blue
G
Did the morning show bullshit

And went to China too

In sighting the riot we were only 23

Packed it up started over just as fast as we can

Selling tapes making merch in the back of a van

Took up drinking wine, gave up drinking beer
D
Signed another big deal with a devil in a dress
E A
A one hit wonder I think, describes it best
D
Decided to burn out, then to fade away
E A
Went back to the van the very next day

Picked it up made a living without any help

Made amazing friends if I saw so myself

If living like this at thirty-eight is a bore
