‘'Sid Vicious’‘ marks the start of a new era. Previously a fan favourite after having been performed live multiple times since 2016, the song saw its official release in the beginning of 2019. Rocket’s sophomore album GRRRL features a remastered version of the song.
The song paints the story of a r...
[Verse 1]
My Sid Vicious in a military jacket
He is doin' drugs right here in front of everyone
When he puts his arm around me, tells me I'm so pretty
Makes me wet and we just met but I think I'm in love
He's a rebel, tastes like heaven and tequila
He's upset that no one's dancin', that's New York for ya
When he says he's leavin' in the morning I play cool
But I cannot stop thinkin' 'bout him, what is wrong with us?
[Chorus]
But you are probably used to this
This shit happens all the time
Three AM the lights come on
And damn my heart is breaking
All the moments never long enough
I hope it's not the vodka when
You say I'm on your mind
'Cause New York City hurts for you tonight
I'm gonna ride it out, ohh
[Verse 2]
Here it comes, the feelin' hits me hard like chronic
I make coffee, do the dishes, stayin' busy
But I don't sleep, I think about you and your tattoos
And I'm tryin' to convince myself you miss me
[Chorus]
But you are probably used to this
This shit happens all the time
Three AM the lights come on
And damn my heart is breaking
All the moments never long enough
I hope it's not the vodka when
You say I'm on your mind
'Cause New York City hurts for you tonight
[Outro]
And I'm gonna ride it out, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I'm gonna ride it out

I wrote this song in my roommates closet, back in 2016 when I lived in brooklyn. it was after one of those classic new york nights – climbing in between subway cars, dancing on tables until the sky turned orange, a 6am flight the next day, crying...
Rocket shared a ‘'love letter to the real Sid Vicious’‘ on her Tumblr, which describes the man and night this is written about:
the night before you left, I sat next to you in a booth inhaling your Calvin Klein, trying to make you last longer. now you’re on the other side of the world and I can fee...
