One Way Ticket - Rome Songtext
von The Darkness

It was a dusty old night
And I′m the first to admit it
I'm sure I upset someone
But my memory has chosen to omit it
A tiny voice telling me
I really should cool it
Chewing my face off
Talking absolute rubbish

The first line hit me like a kick in the face
I thought I′d better have another one just in case
Next thing I knew my heart was under attack
I bought a one way ticket to hell and back

One way ticket to hell and back
Bought a one way ticket to hell and back
One way ticket to hell and back
Bought a one way ticket to hell


I've always tried to keep my vices under wraps
But a coach-load of mutes would have been talkative chaps
If they seemed fit to join me for a couple of hits
But now my septum is in tatters
And I've still got the runs

Burned for a moment then it kicked like a mule
The strangers I recruited thought it was rocket fuel
Several massive chocking lines of glorious gack
I bought a one way ticket to hell and back

One way ticket to hell and back
Bought a one way ticket to hell and back
One way ticket to hell and back
Bought a one way ticket to hell

Stick it up your fucking nose!

Holding court, repeating myself, each repetition slightly louder
Pausing just long enough to snort the white powder
Wheels came off but I′m still on track
I bought a one way ticket to hell and back


One way ticket to hell and back
Bought a one way ticket to hell and back
One way ticket to hell and back
Bought a one way ticket to hell
One way ticket to hell and back
Bought a one way ticket to hell and back
One way ticket to hell and back
Bought a one way ticket to hell
