Tickle Me Pink - Madeline Lyrics

There's a girl back home I used to know
Who cried herself to sleep every night
We all knew, we all knew

Only girl who would ever compromise
Strike a deal with the devil to save a night
We all knew, we all knew

She tried to call me a month ago
To sing me a song that she just wrote
But I wasn't home, I should've known
That time had taken its toll, she had no place to go
They found her body resting by the river

Oh, I never said goodbye, I wish I would have tried
I couldn't hear her cries as she filled her veins with light
Until she saw the light

I remember we would hide behind the trees
Smoking cigarettes until our throats would bleed
Those were the days, those were the days, yeah

Never scared, never worried that the summer would end
Invincible to every sharp end
We drove so fast, thought it would last
But time had taken its toll, she had no place to go
They found her body resting by the river

Oh, I never said goodbye, I wish I would have tried
I couldn't hear her cries as she filled her veins with light
Until she saw the light

Madeline, Madeline, you will be remembered
Madeline, Madeline, we still have September
Madeline, Madeline, we'll see you on the other side

Die
If I could turn back time, I'd find a way to remind you
That some how you could try to give in
And fight the good fight

Oh, you didn't have to die, you filled your veins with lies
My precious Madeline
