    Lyrics
    Well I met a girl named Lady Cobra
    Her black heart beats crimson and clover
    She gives me chills and fever blisters
    She’s serving spells and voodoo shakes

    Well she just wants to get me high
    Stick a needle in my eye
    Reeks like hell, lost in temptation
    Lovin' on my inner demons
    I don't want a suicide
    I don't want this to end
    I just to be your friend

    Cuddle with up me real tight
    Talk to me by candlelight
    Do you wanna play a game of Twister
    Like a dirty old man with a babysitter

    I don't want a suicide
    I don't want this to end
    I just to be your friend

    Well I don't want to make you cry
    Cross my heart and hope to die
    Drawing blood and lonely stars
    Drinking piss for cheap guitars

    I don't want a suicide
    I don't want this to end
    I just to be your friend

    Ah I need a friend
