Dragged Across Concrete - Karl Casey

We knew this would never last I have my fears and you had your past But you look so right I had to ask How could I see the harm in that So think of me driving fast Blacked out in a Pontiac It will break my heart If you'll ever darken Don't crack I didn't want to drag you down But when you weren't around I lost my crown Couldn't take the sound Of your breath not being there I didn't want to drag it on I was gone too long All I left was the tape Of the songs I was writing It made your arms more empty Had no chance to end it well How far I fell No way to tell Couldn't hurt you like the last Wouldn't waste what time you had So think of me driving fast It's called I loved killed my ass Girl save yourself Don't take this hell Leave me don't look back I didn't want to drag you down But when you weren't around I lost my crown Couldn't take the sound Of your breath not being there I didn't want to drag it on I was gone too long All I left was the tape Of the songs I was writing It made your arms more empty We knew that I was bound to crack How my fears only wanted me in bed You were hooked that night i had to ask How could i see the harm in that So think of me driving fast Blacked out in a Pontiac It will break my heart If you'll ever darken Don't crack I didn't want to drag you down But when you weren't around I lost my crown Couldn't take the sound Of your breath not being there I didn't want to drag it on I was gone too long All I left was the tape Of the songs I was writing It just made your arms more empty

I went to bed too late And got up too soon My poor head still spinnin' From too much booze I got a foot in the gutter A foot in the grave I ain't seen home In the last three days Oh my god look what the cat dragged in Livin' my life sin after sin Night rolls up and I do it again Oh my god, look what the cat dragged in No tell, motel, hotel bed If it wasn't for the sunlight I'd swear I was dead I got a girl on the left of me A girl on the right I know damn well I slept with both last night Oh my god look what the cat dragged in Livin' my life sin after sin Night rolls up and I do it again Oh my god, look what the cat dragged in Grrrr! ah sin after sin... I'm late for work on Monday And my boss is bitchin' Can't get out of bed Cause my head's still spinnin' My hair's in a rat's nest I look like hell Half alive or half dead, I just can't tell Oh my god look what the cat dragged in Livin' my life sin after sin Night rolls up and I do it again Oh my god, look what the cat dragged in Cat dragged in Cat dragged in Cat dragged in ahh in look what the cat dragged Cat dragged in (cat dragged in) Cat dragged in (cat dragged in) ...

No sun will shine in my day today (no sun will shine) The high yellow moon won't come out to play (the high yellow moon won't come out to play) (Darkness) darkness has covered my light (and has changed) And has changed my day into night (ooh) Now where is this love to be found? Won't someone help me? 'Cause life (sweet life) must be somewhere to be found Instead of concrete jungle (jungle, jungle, jungle) where the livin' is hardest (concrete jungle) A concrete jungle (jungle, jungle, jungle) oh, man, you've got to do your best (concrete jungle) No chains around my feet, but I'm not free (I'm not free) I know I am bound here in captivity (Never known) and I've never known happiness (Never known) I've never known sweet caresses Still (ooh) I've been always laughing, like a clown (ooh) Won't someone help me? 'Cause, life (sweet life) I've got to pick myself from off the ground In this here concrete jungle (jungle, jungle, jungle) Say, what do you got for me now? (Concrete jungle) Concrete jungle (jungle, jungle, jungle) oh, why won't you let me be now? (Concrete jungle) I said life must be somewhere to be found, yeah Instead of concrete jungle (jungle, jungle, jungle, you name it, we got it) (Concrete jungle) (Jungle, jungle, jungle, you name it, we got it) (Concrete jungle)
