Lyrics Electric Six – My Struggle With Heroin

I was on the inside looking out for you
You were on the outside looking in
You talked a lot about original sin
And you were only nineteen baby

I like to talk about your fantasies
I like to talk about your dreams
You like to talk about my struggle with heroin
And why I look so sleepy

Oh yeah
I’m just another trendy creature of habit
Oh yeah
My heart’s here for you so reach out and grab it
Oh yeah
You can have your cake and eat it
What’s wrong with you
So I’ve got a couple of problems
But who doesn’t have a few?
But I don’t understand why I don’t understand you
I don’t understand why I don’t understand you

Took you to a fancy restaurant
Go to place with no escape
I had a little run in with your ignoramus
Saw your ex-boyfriend

He looked me up and down and over
He searched me up and down the sides
He tried to break every bone in my hand
And undress you late at night

Oh yeah
I just love we’ve got these stupid complications
Oh yeah

This could be the time sister
To be sisterly to me
I follow you into the fire
And you owe me, yeah

Oh yeah
You can have your cake and eat it
What’s wrong with you
So I’ve got a couple of problems
But who doesn’t have a few?
But I don’t understand why I don’t understand you
I just don’t understand why I don’t understand you
