The Taxpayers - "God, Forgive These Bastards" Songs From the Forgotten Life of Henry Turner

I Love You Like an Alcoholic

Heavy humid night, corner of Park and Main
Cast that first glance, "Your smile, my veins"
At maximum capacity, blood pumpin' so fast
My girl, if looks gave heart attacks

The dangerous men in the shadows were like an audience
And even the meanest among them had
A special little shine in their eyes when they saw us walk by
Walked about 20 blocks talkin' about good bars and better towns than this one
Kissed that first night, and then the rain opened up the sky to get

One last kiss
I love you like an alcoholic
One last kiss
I love you like a statuette
One last kiss
I need you like I need a broken leg

I was getting off the late shift attempting to recover
Crumpled up the bus pass, tossed it into the gutter
Some handsome dark stranger, you were standing there on the corner
You had those compelling magnetized eyes
You must have lost when you got older

Seven blocks in, my fingers brushed your hand
I blushed and you laughed, but you seemed a little sad
I ain't one to jump a ship, but I absolutely knew
I was six steps in when I fell into you

One last kiss
I love you like a broken pot
One last kiss
I love you like a pack of dogs
One last kiss
I need you like I need a gaping head wound

One last kiss
I love you like an alcoholic
One last kiss
I love you like a negligee
One last kiss
I need you like I need a broken leg
