When the black sheep leaves the nest There’s no coming back I found the cure to happiness And now my bags are packed Say goodbye to the boy The ending has begun You better not miss your flight It’s aimed right at the sun (yeah) And I’ve done lines with the reaper Pistol to my head And if times not the healer Then what’s dead is dead Spending nights in the ether It’s getting lonely on the edge
I’m shedding my skin Forgetting my worth Lost my innocence And all that we were Was left on Dilworth
Weeping under willows Breathing in my pillow My neighbor’s at my window Self absorbed depreciation High on californication In the lights dancing naked
I’m shedding my skin Forgetting my worth Lost my innocence And all that we were The better it was The more that it hurts Cause all that I loved And all that we were Was left on Dilworth
