Nine Lives in Love (Venus in Leo)

I had nine lives once...

Before the seventh on the eighth

Before I crushed it with a quarter

On the surface of his old textbooks

I had nine lives once

In the two before the sixth

When we drank and drank

Up all that water

If only to leave behind a plastic bottle

And then the third hit

Before I took the fourth hit

Because by then

I could've had a little more

When we snuck inside that basement door

And back to the fifth again

Where I knew before I've been

So grim then...

I had nine lives once

And only once

did I ever find

The lives I wanted were so blind

Now I have one

And it's the only one I need
