Mr. Slowdeath
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Go
All that glitters
Is not, was not
But now lies face down on a street paved in gold
Different names and different games but the same old soul
Once, twice, three times sold
Three times sold
All that mattered
Is not, was not
Steel toes crush dreams on a street paved in gold
You can cover your face but you can't erase all the lies you told
When you were once, twice, three times sold
Needle in my arm
Finger in my vein
Give me something to kill the pain
Needle in my arm
Finger in my vein
Give me something to kill the pain
Hey Mr. Slowdeath you're not coming back for me
Take it or leave it you're not coming back for me
Hey Mr. Slowdeath you're not coming back for me
Take it or leave it, you're not coming back for
Take it or leave it, you're not coming back, back, back
For me
Needle in my arm
Finger in my vein
Give me something to kill the pain
Needle in my arm
Finger in my vein
Give me something to kill the pain
