Suburban Prince's Death Song

OH NO –

Growing up in a middle class suburb –
My life was such a bore –
To good to be true –
I discovered glue –
I passed out while still wanting more –

Cause I-I –
Was a pre-teen druggie –
All I loved was getting high –
I-I –
Was a pre-teen druggie –
Want to do it all the time –
Well I-I –
Was a pre-teen druggie –
All I loved was getting high –
I-I –
Was a pre-teen druggie –
Didn’t know –
That I would die –

I didn’t know –
[4x]

I was thirteen when I first got the urge –
To taste the forbidden fruits –
I was one of the guys –
I always told lies –
And I never followed the rules –
My daddy was a drunk –
My mom called me a punk –
Tried to tie me to a rack –
Now my lungs are black –
From smokin’ kakk –
You know I’m never –
Comin’ back –

I-I –
Was a pre-teen druggie –
All I loved was getting high –
Trained by a fellow junkie –
For a long career in crime –
I-I –
Was a pre-teen druggie –
And I had to pay the price –
One day I got un-lucky –
Then I did –
And then I did –
[3x]
I did some time –

You know that I-I –
Was a pre-teen druggie –
But then I saw the light –
I-I –
Changed my main man –
And Jesus became my life –
Now I’m a three piece junkie –
And I wonder why? –
I-I –
I’m a three piece junkie –
Didn’t know –

That I would –
[7x]
That I would die –
I didn’t know –
[8x]
