[Verse 1]
When did I stop bummin' cigarettes out back
And decide I need a whole damn pack?
What kind of day was that?
When did I stop mixing in the ginger ale
And drink it straight? It's hard to tell
But I know it used to burn like hell
[Chorus]
Life is an acquired taste
Sometimes it takes what kills ya
To get you through the day
It's gradual, first a little
And then a little more
You'd be surprised at what it takes to put you on the floor
It's a slippery slope, yeah
It gets in your bones when
You're keepin' up
With the jonesin'
[Verse 2]
When did love go from something I could feel
To just anothеr pill
I take to fill a hole that I can't fill?
[Chorus]
Life is an acquired taste
Sometimes it takes what kills ya
To get you through the day
It's gradual, first a little
And then a little more
You'd be surprised at what it takes to put you on the floor
It's a slippery slope, yeah
And it gets in your bones when
You're keepin' up
With the jonesin', yeah
[Bridge]
I got one last cigarette
And just enough in the bottle left
To call somebody up
That I should just forget
[Outro]
But it's a slippery slope
And it gets in your bones
And these wounds ain't ever gonna close when
I'm keepin' up
Yeah, I'm keepin' up
With the jonesin'
With the jonesin'
