Alkaline Trio - Sadie (Split Version) Lyrics






You're on your own my little nightmare you cannot stay here
It's far too bright for you
If they attack you just lay there,
Play dead dear, it's your only hope of pulling through.

And seconds they seem like a lifetime.
A dream, recurring, a dream that can't come true.
And they'll pin it all on you
after all you've been put through.

"Sadie G. she's crazy, see?"
That's what the white coats say.
Now Ms. Susan A. is losing
every opportunity to put us all away.

Go run along my little nightmare.
Your job is done here.
You've scared them all to death.
If they revive them just sit there.
Just smile dear. Make them thankful for every breath.

The sentence may seem like a lifetime,
a scream, that curdling the blood they found on you.
And your knives and clothing too.
Charlie's broken .22

"Sadie G. she's crazy, see?"
That's what the white coats say.
Now Ms. Susan A. is losing
every opportunity.

Well they found you and they shipped you up the river the same way that you've bound and gaged.
You've shot and stab.
You tried to set them free, but they've thrown away the keys.

"I think that if I found a god to me that was so beautiful that I'd do anything for him. I'd do anything for god. Even murder, if I believed it was god, how could it not be right? Because he said it was. I have no remorse for the killer inside of me, I have no guilt in me"

Whoa [x4]

  2. W.... ....

    Loved this split

    You are good

  4. G.... A....

    Somehow this version ended up on the Crimson album on Spotify..

  5. K.... J....

    Did Jerry Finn produce this version?

  6. D.... ....

    I went to see you tour this album in liverpool UK so long ago now 😱

    D.... ....

    I'm also an alkaline trio fan but I am also a barça fan and you knocked us out so idk what to do lol

  7. A.... L....

    D.... ....

    Same Version

    D.... ....

    Raven Junio nope. This one is definitely more raw.

  12. M.... H....

    My fave song of Alkaline Trio, until now I am still wondering about the lady's voice on it, and still got the goosebump

    M.... H....

    She is Heater Gabel, ex wife of Laura Jane Grace and merch designer for Alkaline Trio since the beginning.

    M.... H....

    ahhh just have no idea it's her voice, her tatoo and artwork is awesome, she is amazing woman

    M.... H....

    The lyrics are a direct quote from Susan Atkins AKA Sexy Sadie, who was an accomplice of Charles Manson. She helped him torture and murder several people back in 1969 because she followed him like a cult.
    Not sure if that's her voice, or if that's Laura Grace just reading the quote. If you listen to the lyrics its all about that woman and her trial (men in white coats - her pleading insane in court, etc)

  13. t.... b....

    Amazing <3

  14. C.... ....
