9 Lives

(album: ELIO'S INFERNO - 2022)

Chewed up, and spat out
Like gum on the sidewalk, oh oh
Used up, and played out
Now I hate how you talk, oh-oh

One time I forgive you for shit I don't allow, then
Two, three, four nights
I made you sleep out on the couch
Five, six, seven times you've lied to my eyes
About something
And eight times that I tried, I
Only got nine lives

I tried to get out
Those times you fucked up, up, up
Only got nine lives
I tried to get out
Those times you fucked up, up, up
Only got nine lives

Start the car, I keep it running
Baby boy, from Mars
I saw you coming, so I put you in the rearview
In a way you put me there too
I see 2020 now I don't have you

One time I forgive you for shit I don't allow
Two, three, four nights
I made you sleep out on the couch
Five, six, seven times you've lied to my eyes
About something
And eight times that I tried, I
Only got nine lives

I tried to get out
Those times you fucked up, up, up
Only got nine lives
I tried to get out
Those times you fucked up, up, up
Only got nine lives

Can't teach you how to love
You can't wear white shoes, you'll scuff them up
You wanna walk on me
Man through the mud [?]
You think I won't leave you?
Baby, call my bluff

Can't teach you how to love
You can't wear white shoes, you'll scuff them up
You wanna walk on me
Man through the mud [?]
You think I won't leave you?
Baby, oh

One time I forgive you for shit I don't allow, then
Two, three, four nights
I made you sleep out on the couch
Five, six, seven times you've lied to my eyes
About something
And eight times that I tried, I
Only got nine lives

I tried to get out
Those times you fucked up, up, up
Only got nine lives
I tried to get out
Those times you fucked up, up, up
Only got nine lives
