There's this boy I know He's afraid of the ocean Never quite found love But he drank the love potion I'll be on the chain-smoking in the basement Shattered like the windows All my life I was born to lead Worry not, just leave me be I'll abide till the end And I'll take it all on the chin for you, my friend Parked my bag of bones at the back of the station Said make yourself at home So I started day drinking Said: I believe in time after seven, eight or nine You'll fall yourself to pieces All my life I was born to bleed Worry not, just leave me be I'll abide till the end And I'll take it all on the chin for you, my friend All my life was I born to lead Worry not, just leave me be I'll abide till the end And I'll take it all on the chin for you, my friend I'll take it on the chin for you, my friend I'll take it on the chin for you, my friend
