Lyrics
What to wear, what to say What to do on a sunny day Who to phone, who to fight Who to dance with on a Sunday night I'm reaching the very edge you know I'm reaching the very edge I'm going to the other side this time I'm reaching the very edge You're still breathing, but you don't know why Life's a bed, and sometimes you die You're still breathing, but you just can't tell Don't hold your breath, but the pretty things are going to hell I am a dog, I am a dragon I am the best chance you've ever seen I am the dragon, I am the sky I am the blood at the corner of your eye I found the secrets, I found the pills I found you out before you grow old I found you out before you grow old What is eternal, what is damned What is clay, what is sand Who to diss, who to trust Who to listen to, who to suss I'm reaching the very edge you know I'm reaching the very edge I'm going to the other side this time I'm reaching the very edge You're still breathing, but you don't know why Life's a bed, and sometimes you die You're still breathing, but you just can't tell Don't hold your breath, but the pretty things are going to hell The pretty things are going to hell They wore it out, but they wore it well The pretty things are going to hell They wore it out, but they wore it well Well now, yeah The pretty things are going to hell They wore it out, but they wore it well Oh yeah The pretty things are going to hell They wore it out, but they wore it well Oh yeah Oh, they wore it You're still breathing, but you just can't tell Don't hold your breath, but the pretty things are going to hell You're still breathing, but you don't know why Life's a bed, and sometimes you die You're still breathing, but you just can't tell Don't hold your breath, but the pretty things are going to hell In hell
