Píseň: Bitter Pill

Interpret:
Billy Idol
Album:
Kings And Queens Of The Underground
Riding down this road
Like I’ve ridden down a million
I’ve run through every road block in this town
I laughed at all the signs that say “speed’ll kill ya”
It took you to slow me down


I’d forgotten how to fly
But I’ll remember before I die


It’s a crooked line I follow
It’s a rocky road I ride
It’s a bitter pill I swallow
Just to keep you by my side


A white man sings the blues
Like there just ain’t no tomorrow
‘cause misery is always colorblind
I’ve taken every remedy for ignorance and sorrow
Something to cure this wicked mind


And I’d forgotten how to fly
But I’ll remember before I die


It’s a crooked line I follow
And a rocky road I ride
It’s a bitter pill I swallow
Just to keep you by my side
Just to keep you satisfied


I’ve forgotten the reasons why
But I’ll remember before I die


It’s a crooked line I follow
It’s a rocky road I ride
It’s a bitter pill I swallow
Just to keep you by my side
Just to keep you satisfied
Just to keep you by my side


Satisfied
Satisfied


It’s a wicked world, baby


Riding down this road
Like I’ve ridden down a million
I’ve run through every road block in this town
I laughed at all the signs that say “speed’ll kill ya”
It took you to slow me down
