I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it (Yeah) You like my hair? Gee, thanks, just bought it I want it, I got it, I want it, I got it Yeah, breakfast at Tiffany's and bottles of bubbles Girls with tattoos who like getting in trouble Lashes and diamonds,

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45 Swimming through the ashes of another life No real reason to accept the way things have changed Staring down the barrel of a 45 What ever happened to the young man's heart? Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell

I be crying hey, train carried my girl away I be crying hey, that train carried my girl away from town Where were you when the train left town I was standing on the corner, my head hanging down Ashes to ashes and dust to dust Show me the woman that I can

Yeah, they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one And they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one Let me tell you now, you’re the lucky one New to town with a made up name in the Angel city, chasing fortune and fame And the camera flashes, make it look

And I've never seen a more beautiful thing Am I just dreaming? Let's take it too far And should we begin before it's too late? Say that you'll take a cigarette break But I saw a spark Just a cigarette break, leave the ashes on the fire escape To burn

Oh Lord, oh Lord Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Sometimes I look up to the sky When I die, put my ashes in the trash bag I don't care where they go Don't waste your money on my gravestone I'm more concerned about my soul Everybody's gon' die
