Heart Failure Lyrics
I guess we were doing the best we could
And to look at us from the outside
I'm sure it seems somewhat romantic
but when you've tasted excess
Everything else tastes bland
Yeah, we had everything to lose
But we still lived like we were about to die
After all, we were the drug scouts of America
Right before your eyes
I just keep regurgitating
My own demise
I miss my veins 'cause they've collapsed
A simple thought occurs to me
The train is coming fast
And it's not derailing
It's not the first time
And this won't be the last
That my heart is failing
to my head
And from my wrists
I'm in love with all the things I know I should resist
Your falling down ones destiny
A simple thought occurs to me
The train is coming fast
And you're right there waiting
It's not the first time
And this won't be the last
That my heart is failing
The look in the eyes of death
Was intoxicating
Taking it into our lungs
Laughing at ourselves
Where others would probably cry
And more importantly
I'd probably just die
Staring face to face with the demons
And not back down
Takes a constitution that most people just don't have
A life gets soiled with sex, drugs and rock and roll
The train is coming fast
And it's not derailing
It's not the first time
And this won't be the last
That my heart is failing
The train is coming fast
And you're right there waiting
It's not the first time
And this won't be the last
That my heart is failing
Gosh I hope I got these lyrics right. Sorry if I didn't !
Where did you hear the song at?
I heard it on an online radio station
It's a goooooood song too by the way :P
I heard: "And all the times you said to me That falling down WAS destiny"
As for the song... given the context it's not too hard to determine most of it, the album's themed around Sixx's heroin use in '87 and his recovery. But there's one line that made me think.
"As the blood is rushing to my head And from my wrists"
Suicide attempt?
I think it is from when he cudn't get a needle into his veins and blood was going everywhere, haven't read the book in awhile though (have started now) so that may not fit into the song

Er--
And more importantly They'd probably just die
I'll give credit though, you caught a lot of the spoken word parts that I couldn't get.
Yeah it was a bit hard for me I knew I had a few things wrong. :P It was hard for me to understand some of the words because of the accent hehe
this song is from his album heroin diaries. all the songs are about his addiction. including this one......"i miss my veins because they collapsed" cuz he shot up so much.
