Lyrics

My cold, cold, sailor heart says get on your way
I aint to proud to say but thats how I'm made
I'll be that person 'til my dying day
I try so awful hard, but I can't change

From runways to the road, I ramble alone
This thumbnail sized of a heart is black as coal
Though beauty, it still brings me to my knees
Don't waste a tear on me, this is my disease

Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I'll blow off in your sleep
Don't leave no smell on me

Those preppy boys in blue
They make fun of us
So we take it to the street
Because we are on ornery curse
But we're not here to make your children bleed
We're here to cover ground with a tumbleweed

Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I'll blow off in your sleep
Don't leave no smell on me

Don't take these boots off me when you're thinking I'm dead
I'll still be running from the demon in my head
I'll be that person 'til my dying day
I try so awful hard, but I can't change

Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I'll blow off in your sleep
Don't leave no smell on me
