Emilie Ramirez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And i see you through the blinds
Murdering your face
And still i let you in
Let the race begin
Sleepless nights
Pouring icey water
I should think twice
boy i'm scared of these hights
You would throw the dice
If it land on six
I'd get my fix
What the hell did you give me
Tranquilizer Tranquilizer
Wash you off with sanitiser
Tranquilizer Tranquilizer
wash you off with sanitiser (sanitiser)
you're my jumpman
expensive ass drugs
you're the monster
under my bed
you pass me out
you're the monster
pass me out
you're the monster
you swim in my eyes
and i see you walk by
i had to keep myself save
but still i want you in
let the game begin
blurred nights
pouring gold liquor
i should think twice
i'd be thinking
boy i'm scared to say it loud
you would get me high
if i let you in
i'd get my fix
what the hell did you give me
tranquilizer tranquilizer
wash you off with sanitiser
tranquilizer tranquilizer
wash you off with sanitiser (sanitiser)
you're my jumpman
expensive ass drugs
you're the monster
under my bed
you pass me out
you're the monster
pass me out

you're the monster
you're the monster
you're the monster
you're the monster
