Pompadour - Absinthe

Absinthe Princess, God save the Queen
Legs crossed over, not at the knee
Crushed up aspirin always to me
Tastes better when stirred into tea

Take a photo it'll last longer
Take a sip of mine, it's far stronger
Crack your knuckles, roll up your sleeves
Grab your shoes, you're coming with me

And you've no room to judge me
Oh, and you can't even touch me
You think you're better
(Oh, you think you're mr fucking goody two shoes, but you choose)

What do you want me to do? Sit like a lemon
Waiting politely to converse with you
Trying not to fidget, like a
Bull in a china shop, I'm getting the shakes
Trying to be dainty but I'm really bad at it
Unfortunately I know I talk way too much
And unfortunately I know you
Aim for the jugular, I'll try not to scream, but honey
Don't stop now

Ran out of birthday candles use a cigarette
Ignore my problems like they're not getting bigger yet
They call you a different class
While you're drinking champagne from a pint glass

You've definitely no room to judge me
Oh and you can't even touch me
(You think you're special, oh they really think you're mr fucking nice guy, nice try)

What do you want me to do?
Sit like a lemon waiting politely to converse with you
Trying not to fidget
Like a Bull in a china shop
I'm getting the shakes
Trying to be dainty but
I'm really bad at it
Unfortunately I know I talk way too much
And Unfortunately I know you
Aim for the jugular I'll try not to scream but honey
Don't Stop Now

Ever tried to walk with your eyes closed
I go crazy when I think about it
Someone tries to talk but my eyes roll
I can't roll with you

Chatting shit in fluent creole
Graffiting the walls with crayola
I kinda like it
But the shoes I dance in
Are kinda ruined
Cause they're drenched in absinthe

What do you want me to do?
Sit like a lemon waiting politely to converse with you
Trying not to fidget
Like a Bull in a china shop
I'm getting the shakes
Trying to be dainty but
I'm really bad at it
Unfortunately I know I talk way too much
And Unfortunately I know you
Aim for the jugular I'll try not to scream but honey
Don't Stop Now
