Thirteen years old,
last year of grade school
I was having my fun,
but not yet a fool
I fell down a well,
started looking for rescue
The water's so deep
with no place to rest too
My chest grows stressful
Then he calls out:
"I have something to bless you"
I look around
and the water is less blue
I clamber out
He says: "you're a mess, dude"
"Now go get dressed"
"I've got someone,
who I hope will impress you"
Mary's so pretty
All covered in flowers
She can take minutes
make them into hours
Mary's so pretty
Mary's oh so pretty
Fifteen years old
and high in love
Every day with her
is a gift from above
Always pick her when
push comes to shove
I can't let go, no
Her hand's my glove
Feel her on my lips
And I can't get enough
Her kiss is relaxing
but it's gone with a puff
"See? I knew you'd like her"
Mary's so pretty
All covered in flowers
She can take minutes
make them into hours
Mary's so pretty
but I'm getting bored
Seventeen now, I've met
Susan and Molly
Vivian, Addy,
Roxy, and Nicky
But its been months
Since I've seen Mary
Wake up and kiss Susan,
till she's stuck in my head
I fool with Nicky in the day,
she's my new best friend
Then slip Roxy at night
it's how I get to bed
Make love to Molly all day,
on the weekend
I'm back in the well,
and now the water's red
The well is so tall
that I don't see the end
I don't see the sun
Just darkness instead
He's not coming this time

Love and addiction are the two sides on the same coin of passion. I flip that coin like a man who loves gambling
