The Normal - One Hundred Thousand Ways

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/2001186
Born without a hand
Giving you a round of applause
Pretty clear where I stand
They got a fire and I'm still freezing

This is the end
A dirty feeling
The time was mine
Don't ever forget

We're all just so hungry for something to gnaw on
Something to take away the pain
It doesn't matter
No it doesn't matter
We've all got to die someday

Sitting on the edge
How did I manage to get all the
Holes and the dirty and the sweat and the hurt
Why are you soaking in diamonds and pearls?

This is thе end
Dirty feeling
You get the firе
And I'm still freezing
We're all just so hungry for something to gnaw on
Something to take away the pain
It doesn't matter
No it doesn't matter
We've all got to die someday
We're laying here dying
You're living a hundred thousand ways that I can't
It doesn't matter
No it doesn't matter
We've all got to die someday
