The Velvet Teen - No One Gets The Best Of Me lyrics
Your rating:
A fallen eyelash might grant my wish But what more could I ask for? I have the sight of your face when I wake up And before we fall asleep I hear the voice of an angel Calling me her true love They say the rules for fools who rush in Are the same as russian roulette Life, if you choose an empty chamber Or a bullet in the head And you can say that you won't play Or go shoot something else instead Either way, the last thought that you think Will be the first that you forget But lest the fear of your own life Cause you live like you'd met death Know love while you still can, fill your lungs Let me hear your quickened breath Sing like you were suicidal Tremble atop the treble clef To hell with this life, if without Love, let your eyes roll back to heaven And with such ease we'll shun these needless trepidations Senses suspended as the second hand lingers From our ocean, as we name every constellation With the sounds that we make that escape the restraints of words Some will say it's all inside our heads Some say they've seen the light so you'll continue Chasing their silhouette So point the finger at whom you like Or raise your head and curse the sky It makes no difference That's why I never could decide Between you and me, girl You know I'll never choose a side It's just you and me, girl Just you and me I had a debt with the devil Bet him I could drink him under the table With shots of holy water Jameson's and jack daniels And he said, as we poison our livers Let us drink unto your health No one gets the best of me I keep that part to myself And if i dream so many sweet dreams My brain burns itself a cavity Or if my posture's compromised By more than time's IV drip gravity I will say that i once had While others moan they still don't have any And I will get it all back again In the next cycle of my depravity Cos my poverty means nothing When deaths' writing it's blank checks to me And though I could drive off this cliff Or wish my name had been vasectomy Life's an accident others slow down And vainly strain their necks to see While i push my pedal to the ground And fly past them all in ecstasy Yeah, some say that this life ain't the only one we get I once claimed that I'd found myself when I'd only been chasing my own silhouette So point the finger at whom you like Or raise your head and curse the sky It makes no difference That's why i never could decide Between you and me, girl You know I'll never choose a side It's just you and me, girl Just you and me I could never love any other No one could ever take your place And we may be different people But I give you every piece of me So if you traded my love in search of more Someone might remain to fill up space But there'd be nothing left We are one
