Codeine Love and the 27 Club

[Intro] [Verse 1] Sippin’ slow, she’s my codeine, got me floatin’ in the night Purple rain in my veins, but the high don’t feel right Love’s a curse in a cup, I keep drinkin’ ‘til it’s gone She whispers, “Baby, slow down,” but I’m already too far gone Demons dance in my head, got me talkin’ to the stars 27 on my wrist, but the clock’s bleedin’ scars Heartbreak’s syrup too sweet, mix the pain with the lean If I fade to a ghost, will you remember my screams? [Chorus] Welcome to the 27 Club, where the lost souls collide We don’t sleep, we just dream in the neon light Codeine love, it’s a fast ride to the end Pour a cup for the angels who couldn’t pretend Welcome to the 27 Club, where the flames never die Burn so bright, but we fall from the velvet sky One more sip, one more kiss, one more lie Meet me where the shadows sing lullabies… [Verse 2] Pillow talk with the reaper, he says, “Son, you’re runnin’ thin” Chase the dragon, but it’s draggin’ me deeper than my sins Lonely nights, flashin’ lights, fame’s a fickle little friend I’m a legend in the makin’, but the end’s ‘round the bend Codeine kisses, they linger like a tattoo on my soul Every heartbeat’s a battle, but I’m losin’ all control 27’s a club I never asked to RSVP But the devil’s at the door, and he’s smilin’ right at me [Bridge] Pour the lean, light the smoke, let the melody decay If I jump, let me fall, don’t you dare to pray Heaven’s gates got a line, hell’s a VIP tonight Codeine love’s my goodbye, catch me in the twilight… [Chorus] Welcome to the 27 Club, where the lost souls collide We don’t sleep, we just dream in the neon light Codeine love, it’s a fast ride to the end Pour a cup for the angels who couldn’t pretend Welcome to the 27 Club, where the flames never die Burn so bright, but we fall from the velvet sky One more sip, one more kiss, one more lie Meet me where the shadows sing lullabies… [Outro]
