Delirium
Mad Sin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh delirium, I'm seeing double
'cause day by day I'm sticking in more trouble
All I ever do is getting drunk because of you
Hey mister bartender pass another brew

Oh delirium, my life is crazy
And all my dreams are gettin' fucking hazy
'cause all I ever do is getting high because of you
Hey mister bartender pass another brew

Well people talk behind my back and say that I'm a fool
But they don't seem to understand that all I ever wanted was
You (5x)

Oh delirium, no it ain't funny
Up my nose and down my throat went all the money
Oh the landlords gotta wait before he's gonna get paid
Going down the shop and get another crate, alright

Well people talk behind my back and say that I'm a fool
But they don't seem to understand that all I ever wanted was
You (5x)

Oh delirium, my girl has left me
I'm so blue and I need another whisky




'cause all I ever do is getting drunk because of you
Hey mister bartender pass another brew (3x)
