Trading sex for drugs

Didn\’t it seem that the night

When it seems your subjects

And the water is just deep enough to

To the memory of a bruise

But I still take it on

The chin for yo-u

Disabled motorist

In the road, I have become one
Em     C           G
Disabled motorist
Em           C           G           D
In the road, I have become one
