dVengeance

We smoked like chimneys, fucked like fiends

We loved like desperate, orphaned teens

We hurt like children, cried like thieves

We fought like suicide cases

All in the back of a white hatchback

For what seemed to be eternity

And I thought I’d die, I thought I’d die

I thought I’d die when you were done with me

 

To Hell with your punch-drunk romance

You should’ve killed me when you had the chance

‘Cuz the dead don’t laugh

The dead don’t sing

The dead don’t scream their vengeance in the key of D

And I live, I live

I live and I’ll be damned if I forgive

 

Washed up whore, you’re the drunk of the week

You’re the Patron Saint of Posturing

And you’ll live and die inside that county line

‘Cuz you know better than to stray

From your tiny world, where all the lonely girls

Stay young and dumb and you can fuck the guilt away

Fuck the guilt away

Fuck the guilt away

But you won’t fuck me
