Suburban Prince's Death Song

(album: Never Is Forever - 1994)

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
[x4]

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 smoking kakk
You know I'm never
Coming 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
[x3]
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
[x7]
That I would die
I didn't know
[x8]
