"One Way Ticket" lyrics - THE DARKNESS

It was a dusty old night and I'm the first to admit it
I've surely upset someone, but my memory has chosen to omit it
A tiny voice telling me I really should cool it
Chewing my face off, talking absolute rubbish

[Pre-Chorus:]
The first line hit me like a kick in the face
I thought, "I'd better have another one, just in case"
Next thing I knew, my heart was under attack
I bought a one way ticket to hell...and back

[Chorus:]
One way ticket to hell and back
Bought a one way ticket to hell and back
One way ticket to hell and back
Bought a one way ticket to hell and back

I've always tried to keep my vices under wraps
But a coach-load of mutes would have been talkative chaps
If they had seen fit to join me for a couple of hits
And now, my septum is in tatters
And I've still got the runs

[Pre-Chorus:]
It burned for a moment then it kicked like a mule
The strangers I recruited thought it was rocket fuel
Several massive chocking lines of glorious gack
I bought a one way ticket to hell...and back

[Chorus:]
One way ticket to hell and back
Bought a one way ticket to hell and back
One way ticket to hell and back
Bought a one way ticket to hell and back

[Sitar solo]
Stick it up your fucking nose!

[Bridge:]
Holding court, repeating myself, each repetition slightly louder
Pausing just long enough to snort the white powder
Wheels came off, but I'm still on track
I bought a one way ticket to hell...
(And back!)

[Chorus:]
One way ticket to hell and back (yeah)
Bought a one way ticket to hell and back (ooh yeah)
One way ticket to hell and back
Bought a one way ticket to hell (ooh yeah)

One way ticket to hell and back (woo!)
Bought a one way ticket to hell and back
One way ticket to hell and back
Bought a one way ticket to hell...
