Addicted - Jesse Malin

I’ve been running from the outskirts

Got some money on the wrong horse

I just had no where else to go

Now they’re closing down the book store

And they’re putting up a condo

We’re gonna watch this whole thing blow

And I’ve lived here all my life

I’m addicted to the sadness

And the sound of jubilation

We never got to say goodbye

Well they wanted his apartment

And they tried to steal his paintings

They were counting up the days until he died

And the band played on and on

And the band played on and on

And the band played all the sadness of my youth

I’m addicted to hand jive

I’ve been living on the down stroke

Almost gone and almost grown

I’ve been feeling like a bastard

In the beauty of the moment

So alive and so alone

And the band played on and on

And the band played on and on

And the band played all the sadness of my youth

I’m addicted to the glory

Of a broken heart

Now they got you in the camera

And you’re feeling like a target

Another picture in a million dollar phone

I’m addicted to the moment

I will not be reconstructed

I’m gonna watch this whole thing blow

And the band played on and on

And the band played on and on

And the band played all the sadness of my youth

And the band played on and on

And the band played all the sadness of my youth

And I’ve lived here all my life
