lyrics

Cough Syrup

Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo

Just take one sip at a time this shit will blow your mind,
Yeah yeah yeah
Rub your sore eyes, tranquilize, steer this ship to the sky,
Let’s get high

And it builds you up, then it drags you down
Just like a scream, without a sound
It has no meaning
Alright

Have you seen our mother my brothers
Heard her sweet lies? Seen her disguises?
I traded an eye for a lie and a tooth for the truth
And I nearly died

And it built me up, then it dragged me down
Just like a scream, without a sound
I called for help, no one could hear
I was sedated, Alright

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo

Just take one sip at a time this shit will blow your mind,
Yeah yeah yeah
Open your eyes realise this sweet lime will return
your prescription

Life’s over-rated, I want to be sedated
Why don’t we just get loaded, and see how it ends, yeah.

Cinema 6 are the refreshingly under-produced pioneers of Melbourne’s raw-wave scene.

They interpret film to create music and sound a bit like a Quidditch final between Buzzcocks
and The Strokes.
