Cough Syrup
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.
Life's too short to even care at all (whoa-oh-ooh-whoa-oh)
I'm losing my mind, losing my mind, losing control
These fishes in the sea, they're staring at me (ooh-whoa-oh-ooh-whoa-oh)
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum (whoa-oh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away to some fortune that
I, I should have found by now
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
Come down
Life's too short to even care at all (whoa-oh-ooh-whoa-oh)
I'm coming up now, coming up now out of the blue
These zombies in the park, they're looking for my heart (whoa-oh-ooh-whoa-oh)
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun (whoa-oh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away, to some fortune that
I, I should have found by now
So I run to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
Life's too short to even care at all (whoa-oh)
I'm losing my mind, losing my mind, losing control
If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away, to some fortune that
I, I should have found by now
So I run to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
One more spoon of cough syrup now (whoa-oh)
One more spoon of cough syrup now (whoa-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
