Well, I never got my license to live
They won’t give it up
So I stand at the world’s edge

I’m trying to break in
Oh, I know it’s not for me
And the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
That’s when I want- Some Weird Sin

Things get too straight
I can’t bear it
I feel stuck, stuck on a pin

I’m trying to break in
Oh, I know it’s not for me
But the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
That’s when I want- Some Weird Sin
That’s when I want- Some Weird Sin
Just to relax with

Yeah, some dumb, weird sin
For a while anyway
With my head on the ledge
That’s what you get out on the edge
Some Weird Sin

Things get too straight
I can’t bear it
I feel stuck, stuck on a pin

I’m trying to break in
Oh, I know it’s not for me
When the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
That’s when I want- Some Weird Sin
That’s when I want- Some Weird Sin
Just to relax with

That’s some dumb weird sin
For a while anyway
With my head out on the ledge
That’s what you get out on the edge
Some Weird sin

Some weird sin, Some weird sin, etc
