Psycho
Cloudy June Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a bad habit, mama don't get
She won't understand so better not tell her
Get down with me just a little
Gotta get stuck in the middle
Been off my medication for too long
And it's been a revelation, so strong
You've been searching for a rush like this
Careful when you step on the sidewalk
You're the one that I can not take my eyes off
What's it like to fall for a psycho?
Need another rush to die for
20/20 Sight when the night falls
Better be the one to hunt than to cry for
What's it like to fall for a psycho?
Need another rush to die for
Head money still placed on me
Roaming the world like my name was Bonnie
Still here, ignoring every warning
With me things never get boring
Been off my medication for too long
And it's been a revelation, so strong
All your life
You've been searching for a rush like this
Careful when you step on the sidewalk
You're the one that I can not take my eyes off
What's it like to fall for a psycho?
Need another rush to die for
20/20 Sight when the night falls
Better be the one to hunt than to cry for
What's it like to fall for a psycho?
Need another rush to die for
Careful when you step on the sidewalk
You're the one that I can not take my eyes off
What's it like to fall for a psycho?
Need another rush to die for
20/20 Sight when the night falls
Better be the one to hunt than to cry for
What's it like to fall for a psycho?
Need another rush to die for
