[Spoken Intro]

When I think back on this life

I guess we were doing the best we could

And to look at us from the outside

I'm sure it seems somewhat romantic

But when you've tasted excess

Everything else tastes bland

Yeah, we had everything to lose

But we still lived like we were about to die

After all, we were the Drug Scouts of America

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]

I've begun evaporating

Right before your eyes

I just keep regurgitating

My own demise

[Pre-Chorus]

I miss today, I miss the past

I missed my veins 'cause they collapsed

A simple thought occurs to me

[Chorus]

I'm face down on the tracks

The train is coming fast

And it's not derailing

It's not the first time

And this won't be the last

That my heart is failing

[Verse 2]

As the blood is rushing to my head

And from my wrists

I'm in love with all the things

I know I should resist

[Pre-Chorus]

And all the times you said to me

That falling down was destiny

A simple thought occurs to me

[Chorus]

I'm face down on the tracks

The train is coming fast

And it's not derailing

It's not the first time

And this won't be the last

That my heart is failing

[Spoken Interlude]

Like I was saying

To look in the eyes of death was intoxicating

Taking it into our lungs

Laughing at ourselves

Where others would probably cry

And, more importantly, would probably just die

To stand face-to-face with your demons and not back down

Takes a constitution that most people just don't have

A life that's soiled with sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

I'm face down on the tracks

The train is coming fast

And it's not derailing

It's not the first time

And this won't be the last

That my heart is failing

I'm face down on the tracks

The train is coming fast

And you're right there, waiting

It's not the first time

And this won't be the last

That my heart is failing
