Baby's got a new best friend.
He always seems to understand,
and he knows just how to make her laugh.
He's rich and white and full of influence.
Baby's never felt so fine. She's wading in the well of life.
I wonder does she ever look back
and still remember when things were so much better?
Kiss baby bye forever now.
Baby never calls me now.
She don't need a past to dream about,
living life the way the stars abound.
And who am I to tell her "Pull them down?"
Baby doesn't need a drink.
Lord knows she never stops to think.
I wonder does she ever look back
and still remember when things were so much better?
Kiss baby bye forever now.
C-o-c-a-i-n-e.
When she comes down it's like she never sleeps.
And who needs food with all her sugar treats?
'Cause when she's high she never thinks of me.
I wonder does she ever look back and remember?
Things were so much better. Baby's gone forever now.
I wonder does she ever look back
and still remember when things were so much better?
Kiss baby bye forever now.
Bye forever.
Bye forever.
Bye forever now.

Her velvet voice
In the cracking cold your velvet voice ventures from your lips
Stiffly walking words, they seem to hang here
You place each phrase like puzzle pieces:
planned, precise, and perfect
You play me like a pastime
I could be your voice of reason. You can be impossible.
I'm hanging like a spider in suspended time and s***e
Your thoughts are all I need to keep me breathing
Dig your feet in deeper Plant your heels into the ground
If you could grow roots down you'd be a tree now.
I could be your voice of reason. You can be impossible.
But sunshine you shone. Sunshine you've grown.
I'm just a shadow when you're not here to shine.
Frozen fingers fold inside the pocket of my jeans
But tighter is the grip you have upon me
Clasping, clenching, clinging on: I'm tailor made to act upon this
urge to keep you for myself forever.
I could be your voice of reason. You can be impossible.
But sunshine you shone. Sunshine you've grown.
I'm just a shadow when you're not here to shine.
The man you fell for fell apart.
He let his demons out of the dark.
Let me hear your voice, my one and only.
Let me see your face. Our love: like breathing.
Carry me away. I'm yours completely.
Hide me in your arms. I don't deserve it.
