Na na na na, oh oh I’ve been spinning out for time Couple women by my side I got sinnin' on my mind Sipping on red wine I’ve been sitting here for ages Ripping out pages How'd I get so faded How'd I get so faded Oh no no don’t leave me lonely now If you loved me how'd you never learn Ooh, coloured crimson in my eyes One or two could free my mind This is how it ends I feel the chemicals burn in my bloodstream Fading out again I feel the chemicals burn in my bloodstream So tell me when it kicks in Tell when it kicks in Tell when it kicks in I’ve been looking for a lover Thought I'd find her in a bottle God, make me another one I'll be feeling this tomorrow Lord forgive me for the things I've done I was never meant to hurt no one And I saw scars upon a broken hearted lover Oh, no, no, don't leave me lonely now If you loved me how'd you never learn Ooh, coloured crimson in my eyes Another could free my mind This is how it ends, I feel the chemicals burn in my bloodstream Fading out again, I feel the chemicals burn in my bloodstream So tell me when it kicks in So tell me when it kicks in No no no No no no No no no All the voices in my mind Calling out across the line (I saw scars upon her) All the voices in my mind Calling out across the line (broken hearted) All the voices in my mind Calling out across the line (I saw scars upon her) All the voices in my mind Calling out across the line (broken hearted) All the voices in my mind Calling out across the line (I saw scars upon her) All the voices in my mind Calling out across the line (broken hearted) All the voices in my mind Calling out across the line (I saw scars upon her) All the voices in my mind Calling out across the line (broken hearted) All the voices in my mind Calling out across the line (I saw scars upon her) All the voices in my mind Calling out across the line (tell me when it kicks in) All the voices in my mind Calling out across the line All the voices in my mind Calling out across the line (tell me when it kicks in) All the voices in my mind Calling out across the line All the voices in my mind Calling out across the line (tell me when it kicks in) All the voices in my mind (no, no, no) Calling out across the line (I saw scars) All the voices in my mind (no, no, no) Calling out across the line (tell me when it kicks in) All the voices in my mind (no, no, no, no) Calling out across the line (I saw scars) All the voices in my mind (no, no, no, no) Calling out across the line (tell me when it kicks in)
