Firefly Battle of Lasagna Mountain

Ladies and gentlemen 
Self-destruction over such a pretty little face
What a way to go into the unknown
With her face tattooed to my brain
I'm drowning in the tar of memories that she gave me

I know I should get it off my feet again
She's such a beautiful angel that can cripple anyone
I've become the alcoholic and all alone
Just like you was when I first met you
Little lady I need a jumpstart my life again

I'm out of control and the thought of her has me thinking of death
I've lost a part of myself in your eyes
I'm sorry but i will always love you
Guess the story ends with me dying alone
Don't forget that you were loved by me
