"Degenerate" lyrics - THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN

THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN
"Degenerate"
(William Reid)

I was a car smash
She was a car smash
We did the car crash

I said the police
I kiss the police
I killed the police man

My mother killed my darkened soul
My mother killed my darkened soul
My mother lit my darkened soul

I got the stone look
I done the stone truck
I got the stoned look in my eye

Disease yeah
A disease yeah
A disease yeah

My lover touched my darkened soul
My lover touched my darkened soul
My lover lit my darkened soul

And now I know just where to go

I was a whore hound
I was a snake hound
I was a coke hound

I was the bad scene
I was the bad gene
I was the bad dream

My lover touched my darkened soul
My lover touched my darkened soul
My lover lit my darkened soul

And now I know just where it goes
