Adelaide - Old 97's

Adelaide Lyrics

Heaven, I need a drug
Her eyes are all but fixed upon her coffee cup
Looking down, she tells you things are looking up
Take another slugHeaven, I had a dream
Now my life's a nightmare of efficiency
She rattles off the things, she never got for free
Gearing up to screamI remember when
I had you, you had so much promise then
Promised me that you would never leave again
To be broken you were made AdelaideHeaven, I need a rest
I recognized the voices talking in my head
I couldn't make out everything the voices said
Loving you is a testI remember when
I had you, you had so much promise then
Promised me that you would never leave again
To be broken you were made AdelaideHeaven, I need a drink
I'm here because they're paying me to do my thing
They never specify what it is I should bring

I'm right up on the brinkI remember when
I had you and you had so much promise then
Promised me that you would never leave again
To be broken you were made AdelaideI remember when
I had you and you had so much promise then
Promised me that you would never leave again
To be broken you were made AdelaideTo be broken you were made Adelaide
To be broken
