Birds and Booze
Mongooz And The Magnet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Try to stay away, but it feels just right
People try to tell me how to live my life
Got two faces, but only got one soul
Fighting myself, cause i want it all
Im curious, got hope

Love the dangerous, want it more
Im curious, got hope
Love the dangerous, want it more
Gonna feel it tonight

Gettin dragged in by the birds and the booze
Ties me up, doesnt cut me loose
Getting dragged in by the birds and the booze
Feels me up, now I cant choose

People try to tell me that it's black on white
Try to kick the feeling, keep it out of life,
Caught up in a rhythm man you won't believe
Can't put it to rest, cause it never sleeps





Gettin dragged in by the birds and the booze.
