Shots and Ladders Lyrics
they're gonna build a ladder
it's gonna take you forever
you're always such a disaster
but all you hear is laughter
they want to keep you for more tests
stick a needle in your chest
and send you home to your own bed
and kiss your beautiful forehead
see how you feel in the morning
it's gonna take you forever
you're always such a disaster
but all you hear is laughter
stick a needle in your chest
and send you home to your own bed
and kiss your beautiful forehead
