Gin Lane Revisited

Lyrics - Gin Lane Revisited It’s absurd by design How one can spend themselves to death, imbibe all that can be spent Around it goes, on time Being ill then rendered incomplete, the luring voice again from real deep I’m moving slow, but know it’s only a ruse, pure show I swear blind and cheat, I’ve oversold my own standards to meet That’s life Is this what all that meant, all that time spent trying to impress Uniquely poised, yet indiscreet; a virtuoso in deceit Debauched in mother’s eyes, seeking carnage pretending it’s fine You wouldn’t say my life’s complete, but it’s the life I want to keep I swear it’s holy show, I’ve sunk as far as I’ve been before A grim plateau, but now’s the time to start swimming towards shore It was all lies (It’s all lies, put up a fight but I must be dreamin I’m deep in) But only sometimes (sometime you’ll recognise that the bottle keeps spinning right on you) I’ve thrived That’s life If I’m saved I won’t stay But I’m high enough to get an acquittal
