Bitter Taste
Billy Idol
Intro Verse 1: The bitter taste I hold my tongue The manic hope the damage done It’s bittersweet black on gold Talk is cheap or so I’m told I’m gonna ride this back to the edge of town Roll to the bridge with my eyes shut And spit at the stars And scream in the dark There’s nothing I can do to change it now But if I cut myself open baby You can read all my scars Read all my scars Hello goodbye There’s a million ways to die Should’ve let me way back Should’ve let me way back By the roadside Hello goodbye I was staring in the devil’s eyes Should’ve let me way back Should’ve let me way back By the roadside It’s a bitter taste Verse 2: Jagged stain on my skin Broken leg born again You are the guy upside down Twisted free my new crown I’m gonna ride this back to the break of day Rolling through the goggle of the fountain Won’t take it away I’m not gonna change I’m gonna live so hard these broken wings Will lift me to the sun so I can burn Up in the clinch Again and again Hello goodbye There’s a million ways to die Should’ve let me way back Should’ve let me way back By the roadside Hello goodbye I was staring in the devil’s eyes Should’ve let me way back Should’ve let me way back By the roadside It’s a bitter taste Bridge: It’s a jagged state It’s a bitter taste It’s a jagged state Hello goodbye There’s a million ways to die Should’ve let me way back Should’ve let me way back By the roadside It’s a bitter taste
