Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Tiredness fuels

Empty thoughts

Find myself

Disposed

[Verse 2]

Brightness fills

Empty space

In search of

Inspiration

[Verse 3]

Harder now

With higher speed

Washing in

On top of me

[Chorus]

So, I look to my eskimo friend

I look to my eskimo friend

I look to my eskimo friend

When I'm down, down, down

[Verse 4]

Rain, it wets

Muddy roads

Find myself

Exposed

[Verse 5]

Tapping doors

But irritate

In search of

Destination

[Verse 6]

Harder now

With higher speed

Washing in

On top of me

[Chorus]

So, I look to my eskimo friend

I look to my eskimo friend

I look to my eskimo friend

When I'm down

[Chorus]

When I'm down, down, down

When I'm down, down, down

When I'm down, down, down

[Verse 7]

Pack my suit in a bag

I'm all dressed up for Prague

All dressed up with you

All dressed up for him, too

[Verse 8]

Prepare myself for a war

Before I even open up my door

Before I even look out

I'm pissing all of my bullets about

[Verse 9]

I wrap myself in a bag

I'm all wrapped up in Prague

I'm all wrapped up in you

All wrapped up in him too

[Verse 10]

Prepare myself for a war

And I don't know what I'm doing this for

Tryna let it all go

But how can I when you still don't know?

[Chorus]

I could wait for you

Like that hole in your boot

Waiting to be fixed

[Chorus]

I could wait for you

What good would that do

But to leave me pricked?

[Verse 11]

Darlin'

Here's to you and your lover

Darlin'

I got years

[Verse 12]

Pack my suit in a bag

All dressed up for Prague

Pack my suit in a bag

All dressed up for Prague

[Verse 13]

Pack my suit in a bag

All dressed up for Prague

Pack my suit in a bag

All dressed up for-

All dressed up for-

All dressed up for-

[Verse 14]

Silent night

Broken night

All is fallen when

You take your flight

[Verse 15]

I found some hate for you

Just for show

You found some love for me

Thinking I'd go

[Verse 16]

Don't keep me from crying to sleep

Sleep in heavenly peace

[Verse 17]

Silent night

Moonlight night

Nothing's changed

Nothing is right

[Verse 18]

I should be stronger

Than weeping alone

You should be weaker

Than sending me home

[Verse 19]

I can't stop you fighting to sleep

Sleep in heavenly peace

[Verse 20]

I need a piss

Wanna hate

Fuck it up

Cum

[Verse 21]

My love

Eat your meat

Keep your teeth

Run

[Verse 22]

You lost me

You cost me

You taught me of me, and

[Verse 23]

We're bad

What we do

Stupid fool

[Verse 24]

You wanna get boned

You wanna get stoned

You wanna get a room like no one else

[Verse 25]

You wanna be rich

You wanna be kitsch

You wanna be the bastard of yourself

[Verse 26]

You wanna get burned

You wanna get turned

You wanna get fucked inside out

[Verse 27]

You wanna be ruled

You wanna be fooled

You wanna be a woman like a man

Like a woman like a man

[Chorus]

Woman like a man, like a man, like a

Woman like a man, just like a man

Woman like a man, woman like a man

Get a cheaper ticket next time

Like a woman like a man, woman like a man

[Chorus]

Woman like a man, like a man, like a

Get a cheaper ticket next time

Woman like a man, woman like a man

Woman like a man, like a man

'Cause it wasn't worth the ride

Like a woman like a man, like a man

[Verse 28]

I need a hit

Wanna wait

Suck it up

Cum

[Verse 29]

My love

Eat your meat

Itchy feet

Run

[Verse 30]

You reach me

You bleach me

You teach me of me, how familiar

[Verse 31]

We're bad

What we do

Stupid fool

[Verse 32]

You wanna get boned

You wanna get stoned

You wanna get a room like no one else

[Verse 33]

You wanna be rich

You wanna be kitsch

You wanna be the bastard of yourself

[Verse 34]

You wanna get burned

You wanna get turned

You wanna get fucked inside out

[Verse 35]

You wanna be ruled

You wanna be fooled

You wanna be a woman like a man

Like a woman like a man, like a

[Chorus]

Woman like a man, like a man, like a

Get a cheaper ticket next time

Woman like a man, woman like a man

Woman like a man, like a man, like a

Get a cheaper ticket next time

Woman like a man, just like a man

[Chorus]

Feel like a man, like a woman, like a man

Get a cheaper ticket next time

Like a woman like a man, just like a man

Woman like a man, woman like a man, like a

'Cause it wasn't worth the ride

Woman like a man, like a man

[Verse 36]

You wanna get boned

You wanna get stoned

You wanna get a room like no one else

[Verse 37]

You wanna be rich

You wanna be kitsch

You wanna be the bastard of yourself

[Verse 38]

You wanna get burned

You wanna get turned

You wanna get fucked inside out

[Verse 39]

You wanna be ruled

You wanna be fooled

You wanna be a woman like a man

Like a woman like a

Like a man

[Bridge]

Just like a man

Like a man, man, man, man, man

Like a man, man, man, man, man

Just like a man, man, a man, a man, a man

A man

A woman like a man

[Chorus]

Get a cheaper ticket next time

Just like a man, you're like a man

I'll get a cheaper ticket next time

Woman like a man, you're like a man

Woman like a man, just like a man

Get a cheaper ticket next time

Just like a man, more like a man

Woman like a man, like a man

'Cause it wasn't worth the ride

More like a man, oh

'Cause it wasn't worth the ride

[Chorus]

Ooh, like a man, like a man

Get a cheaper ticket next time

Just like a man, you like a man

You like a man, like a man, like a

Get a cheaper ticket next time

Woman like a man, you like a man

Like a man, just like a man

Get a cheaper ticket next time

Move like a man, ooh like a man

[Outro]

Woman like a man, woman like a man, like a

'Cause it wasn't worth the ride

Woman like a man, like a man

'Cause it wasn't worth the ride
