  • Dollar bill prescriptions in the bathroom stall
    Red headed women and alcohol
    Say it ain't so, say it ain't last call
    A whiskey on the rocks and Adderall
    A whiskey on the rocks and Adderall
    We're no different from the neon lights
    When you turn us on we stay up all night
    We do what we can
    We put up a fight
    When we burn too long we flicker and die
    Its night like these that the drugs don't work
    They just get in the way instead of pickin' me up
    I wish my addictions didn't mean so much
    But we all can't be born with that kind of luck
    You can try but you won't fix what's wrong with me
    Every night I'm my own worst enemey
    I'll find a way to quit when they bury me
    Cause I can't turn down the drinks when they're free
    No you can't turn down the drinks when they're free
    We're no different from the neon lights
    When you turn us on we stay up all night
    We do what we can
    We put up a fight
    When we burn to long, we flicker and die
    Every girl in that bar looked like 1965
    With her sailor tattoos and her drawn out eyes
    Every now and then she still crosses my mind
    And by every now and then I mean most of the time
    By every now and then I mean all of the time
    We're no different from the neon lights
    When you turn us on we stay up all night
    We do what we can
    We put up a fight
    When we burn too long we flicker and die
    We're no differet from the neon lights
    When you turn us on we stay up all night
    We do what we can
    We put up a fight
    When we burn too long we flicker and die
    We burn too long. We flicker and die Writer/s: BJ BARHAM
