So you're sinking kinda fast,
that a great big light was your past.
this is more than waking up when you're still at the bar
hanging around with the queens after dark
we've come a long way to end up lost,
we're drifting, yeah we're drifting
yeah we're drifting along, along

cut it up until the pain goes away
(whoas)

everything on the avenue's a little more grey
and everyone's wearing just a little decay
cut it up and hand it over
i don't wanna remember

cut it up until the pain goes away
oh!

when the ship done sinks
and the crew done drowns
what am i gonna do?
i'm not hanging around
this cruise is ending
please hang on to your stuff
thank you for coming and thanks for the lung

let's cut it up 'til the pain goes away.
