O.D.’d On Life Itself Lyrics
[Verse 1: Eric Bloom]
How could I fool you, I rest and assure you
Take it off from here and put you on the line
Your back to the pistol and iron bullets whistle
Landscape's open and the world is mine, it's still mine
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
O.D.'d on life, life itself
O.D.'d on life, life itself
O.D.'d on life itself
[Verse 2: Eric Bloom]
Writings appear on the wall
The curtains part and landscape fall
There the writings, done in blood
Yeah, like a mummy's inscription and a batwing tongue
[Bridge: Eric Bloom]
Well then the mouth of the cave will open up wide
Wide as the world that's mine, it's mine, it's still mine
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: Eric Bloom]
So, don't you fear the trade in life
Life loves force, but force loves life
This wedding by heaven was made up in hell
With the victim as bride and life itself
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
O.D.'d on life, life itself
O.D.'d on life, life itself
[Bridge: Eric Bloom]
O.D.'d on life
You O.D.'d on life itself, hey
O.D.'d on life
You O.D.'d on life itself
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
O.D.'d on life, life itself
O.D.'d on life, life itself
O.D.'d on life, life itself
O.D.'d on life, life itself
