I drink to dream
Fifth of stiff and fast asleep
A certified midnight roller
Doing daytime things
I get much bolder and sweeter than this
I'm getting older in sedimentary bliss
I know a rodeo when I see one
I'm pulling over with a slack jaw
And I know that I can't
Wash this essence off of me
Now I know what killing me softly means
Now I know what killing me softly
In the front seat
I'm having flashbacks of me
And I'm hanging my head and laughing
And I'm lost in my own mental Eden
I get much colder and sweeter than this
I'm getting older in sedimentary bliss
I know a rodeo when I see one
I'm pulling over with a slack jaw
And I know that I can't
Wash this essence off of me
Now I know what killing me softly means
Now I know what killing me softly
And I'm shaking my pockets
Out, out, out, out, oh
I guess my luck is turning over
Now, now, now
I know a rodeo when I see one, oh
I'm pulling over with a slack jaw
And I know that I can't
Wash this essence off of me
Now I know what killing me softly means
Now I know what killing me softly means
Now I know, now I know, now I
Now I know, now I know, now I
