Lyrics James Dean Bradfield

James Dean Bradfield

Bad Boys And Painkillers

Bad boys and painkillers

Together like peas in a pod

Look at me just sticking around

The oxygen draining through my blood

Body crunched up and tight

Pounding and kicking me blind

Failing my body design

Digging trenches, looking for mines

(Bad boys and) Looking for a new way out

(Painkillers) Swollen hands looking for love

(Bad boys and) Safe from harm is all I ask

(Painkillers)

Bad boys and painkillers

Drags me down so I'm miserable

Buy some time, I'm coming unstuck

Leave me here, I'll crawl my way back

Cold as statues with such grace

My head inprinted with your face

I long for longing in this place

It's not so hard with some patience

(Bad boys and) Shaking like there's no way out

(Painkillers) Swollen hands looking for love

(Bad boys and) Safe from harm is all I ask

(Painkillers)

Never complain or explain

Never felt lucky or shame

Micro climates and acid baths

Epic human achievement at last

(Bad boys and) Still shaking, still shaking

(Painkillers) Swollen hands looking for love

(Bad boys and) Safe from harm is all I ask

(Painkillers)

(Bad boys and)

(Painkillers)

(Bad boys and)

(Painkillers)
