I'll take a nicotine, caffeine, sugar fix
Jesus don't ya git tired of turnin' tricks 
But when your innocence dies 
You'll find the blues 
Seems all our heroes were born to lose 
Just walkin' through time 
You believe this heat 
Another empty house another dead end street 
Gonna rest my bones an sit for a spell 
This side of heaven this close to hell 

Right next door to hell 
Why don't you write a letter to me 
I said I'm right next door to hell 
An so many eyes are on me 
Right next door to hell 
I got nowhere else to be 
Right next door to hell 
Feels like the walls are closing in on me 

My mama never really said much to me 
She was much too young and scared ta be 
Hell "Freud" might say that's what I need 
But all I really ever get is greed 
An most my friends they feel the same 
Hell we don't even have ourselves to blame 
But times are hard and thrills are cheaper 
As your arms get shorter 
Your pockets get deeper 

Right next door to hell 
Why don't you write a letter to me 
I said I'm right next door to hell 
An so many eyes are on me 
Right next door to hell 
I never thought this is where I'd be 
Right next door to hell 
Thinkin' time'll stand still for me 

Fuck you 
Bitch 

Not bad kids just stupid ones 
Yeah thought we'd own the world 
An gettin' used was havin' fun 
I said we're not sad kids just lucid ones yeah 
Flowin' through life not collectin' anyone 
So much out there 
Still so much to see 
Time's too much to handle 
Time's too much for me 
It drives me up the walls 
Drives me out of my mind 
Can you tell me what this means... huh?

. . .



He lost his mind today
He left it out back on the highway 
On "65" 

She loved him yesterday 
Yesterday's over 
I said okay 
That's all right 
Time moves on 
That's the way 
We live an hope to see the next day 
That's all right 

Sometimes these things they are so easy 
Sometimes these things they are so cold 
Sometimes these things just seem to rip you right in two 
Oh no man don't let 'em get ta you 

She loved him yesterday 
He laid her sister 
She said O.K. 
An that's all right 
Buried her things today 
Way back out deep 
Behind the driveway 
And that's all right 

Sometimes these women are so easy 
Sometimes these women are so cold 
Sometimes these women seem to rip you right in two 
Only if you let 'em get to you 

Ya get out on your own 
And you/take all that you own 
And you/forget about your home 
And then you're/just fuckin' gone 

There's no logic here today 
Do as you got to, go your own way 
I said that's right 
Time's short your life's your own 
And in the end 
We are just 
Dust n' bones

. . .



When you were young
And your heart was an open book 
You used to say live and let live 
You know you did 
You know you did 
You know you did 
But if this ever changin' world 
In which we live in 
Makes you give in and cry 
Say live and let die 
Live and let die 

What does it matter to ya 
When ya got a job to do 
Ya got to do it well 
You got to give the other fella hell 

You used to say live and let live 
You know you did 
You know you did 
You know you did 
But if this ever changin' world 
In which we live in 
Makes you give in and cry 
Say live and let die 
Live and let die

. . .



Talk to me softly
There's something in your eyes 
Don't hang your head in sorrow 
And please don't cry 
I know how you feel inside I've 
I've been there before 
Somethin's changin' inside you 
And don't you know 

Don't you cry tonight 
I still love you baby 
Don't you cry tonight 
Don't you cry tonight 
There's a heaven above you baby 
And don't you cry tonight 

Give me a whisper 
And give me a sigh 
Give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye 
Don't you take it so hard now 
And please don't take it so bad 
I'll still be thinkin' of you 
And the times we had... baby 

And don't you cry tonight 
Don't you cry tonight 
Don't you cry tonight 
There's a heaven above you baby 
And don't you cry tonight 

And please remember that I never lied 
And please remember 
How I felt inside now honey 
You gotta make it your own way 
But you'll be alright now sugar 
You'll feel better tomorrow 
Come the morning light now baby 

And don't you cry tonight 
An don't you cry tonight 
An don't you cry tonight 
There's a heaven above you baby 
And don't you cry 
Don't you ever cry 
Don't you cry tonight 
Baby maybe someday 
Don't you cry 
Don't you ever cry 
Don't you cry 
Tonight

. . .



Kickin' back in the shadows
Got no need for the light 
Who's sorry now old timer 
Look at how you've spent your life 
Scroungin' for change 
To put some money in your pocket 
My how scratch does burn 
Laughin' at the suckers as you pissed it away 

But I got the time and I got the muscle 
I got the need to lay it all on the line 
I ain't afraid of your smoke screen hustle 
It's a perfect crime 
Goddamn it it's a perfect crime 
Motherfucker it's a perfect crime 
I said it's perfect 

Keep the demons down 
And drag the skeletons out 
I got a blind man followin' me in chains 
I said he's fun to watch 
When the world has stopped 
An I think he's got somethin' to say 
"You wanna fuck with me, don't fuck with me 
'Cause I'm what you'll be so don't fuck with me 
If you had better sense 
You'd just step aside from the bad side of me 
Don't fuck wit'da bad side o' me 
Stay away from the bad side o' me 
Don't fuck wit'da bad side" 

T MINUS 1:09 AND COUNTING 

Ostracized but that's all right 
I was thinkin' about somethin' myself 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 

Call on everybody who's got last rites 
Said it's better if you locked 'em away 
Runnin' through the visons at the speed of light 
Won't ya let me be 
Motherfucker just let me be 
Goddamn it better let me be 
Don't ya know ya better let me be... 

Perfect crime 
Goddamn it it's a perfect crime 
Motherfucker it's a perfect crime 
Don't cha know 
It's a perfect crime

1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3
(whistle) 
2, 3, 1 and… 
I tried so hard just to get through to you 
But your head's so far from the realness of truth 
Was it just a come on in the dark 
Wasn't meant to last long 
I think you've worn your welcome honey 
I'll just see you along as I sing you this song 

1, 2, 3, 1 
Time can pass slowly and things always change 
You day's been numbered and I've read your last page 
You was just a temporary lover honey you ain't the first 
Lots of others came before you woman said but you been the worst 
Sa' you been the worst 

So goodbye to you girl 
So long, farewell 
I can't hear you cryin' 
Your jivin's been hell 
So look for me walkin' 
Down your street at night 
I'll be in with another 
Deep down inside 
Deep down inside

. . .



I can't stop thinkin'
Thinking 'bout sinkin' 
Sinkin' down into my bed 
I call my mother 
She's just a cunt now 
She said I'm sick in the head 
She said you ain't special 
So who you foolin' 
Don't try ta give me a line 
But I can't stop thinkin' 'bout seein' ya one more time 
(Oh no) 
But I already left you and you're better off left behind 

It's a bad obsession 
It's always messin' 
It's always messin' my mind 
It's a bad obsession 
It's always messin' 
It's always messin' my mind 

Too bad you're fucked up 

I used to be wasted 
Always tried to take it 
Take it down into my vein 
I call the doctor 
He's just another 
He said I'm sick in the brain 
He said you ain't special 
So who you foolin' 
Don't try ta give me a line 
But I can't stop thinkin' 'bout doin' it one more time 
(Oh no) 
But I already left you and you're better off left behind 
(Oh yeah) 

Aw it's a bad obsession 
It's always messin' 
It's always messin' my mind 
It's a bad obsession 
It's always messin' 
It's always messin' my mind 

So bad... 

Boy 

It's a 
It's a 
Heads up 
It's a bad obsession 
It's always messin' 
It's always messin' my mind 
Now it's a bad obsession 
It's always messin' 
It's always messin' my mind 

But I can't stop thinkin' 'bout doin' it one more time 
(Oh no) 
See I already left you and you're better off left behind 
(Oh no, oh no) 
It's a bad obsession 
And you're always messin' my mind 
See I already left you and you're better off left behind 
Uh huh...no 

Maybe you'll do better next time 
PUNK!!

. . .



Oh yeah!
Oh baby, pretty baby 
Oh honey, you let me down honey 
I ain't playin' childhood games no more 
I said it's time for me to even the score 
So stake your claim, your claim to fame 
But baby call another name 
When you feel the fire, and taste the flame 

Back off, back off bitch 
Down in the gutter dyin' in the ditch 
You better back off, back off bitch 
Face of an angel with the love of a witch 
Back off, back off bitch 
Back off, back off bitch 

Makin' love 
Cheap heartbreaker, broken backed, 
Nasty ballbreaker, stay out of my bed, outta my head 
If it's lovin' you, I'm better off dead 

Back off, back off bitch 
Down in the gutter dyin' in the ditch 
You better back off, back off bitch 
Face of an angel with the love of a witch 
Back off, back off bitch 
Back off, back off bitch 

Emotions ripped, gone on a binge 
Life lipped, I said you're off the hinge 
Tellin' lies of such fame and glory 
I don't even wanna hear your story 

Back off, back off bitch 
Down in the gutter dyin' in the ditch 
You better back off, back off bitch 
Face of an angel with the love of a witch 
Back off, back off bitch 
It's such a pity that you're such a bitch 
Back off, back off bitch 
It's time to burn-burn the witch 
Back off, back off bitch 
Back off, back off bitch 
Back off, back off bitch 
Bitch 
Bitch 
Bitch 
Bitch 
HEY WHA'D'YA THINK HE'S TRYIN' TO SAY THERE, ANYWAY? 
I THINK IT'S SOMETHING EACH PERSON'S S'POSED TO TAKE 
IN THEIR OWN SPECIAL WAY 
Fucking bitch

. . .



Found a head and an arm in da garbage can
Don't know why I'm here 
Livin' on the run for oh so long 
I gotta go collect 
Double talkin' jive 
Get the money motherfucker 
'Cause I got no more patience 
Double talkin' 
-I got (lies)- 
No more patience man 

Back in town an'a all new friends 
They sayin' how ya been? 
Fucked up and outta place 
That's how I felt back then 
Double talkin' jive 
Get the money motherfucker 
'Cause I got no more patience 
Double talkin' 
-I got (lies)- 
No more patience man 
You dig what I'm sayin'?!

. . .



When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained 
But darlin' when I hold you 
Don't you know I feel the same 

'Cause nothin' lasts forever 
And we both know hearts can change 
And it's hard to hold a candle 
In the cold November rain 

We've been through this such a long long time 
Just tryin' to kill the pain 

But lovers always come and lovers always go 
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today 
Walking away 

If we could take the time to lay it on the line 
I could rest my head just knowin' that you were mine 
All mine 
So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain 
Or I'll just end up walkin' in the cold November rain 

Do you need some time... on your own 
Do you need some time... all alone 
Everybody needs some time... on their own 
Don't you know you need some time... all alone 

I know it's hard to keep an open heart 
When even friends seem out to harm you 
But if you could heal a broken heart 
Wouldn't time be out to charm you 

Sometimes I need some time... on my own 
Sometimes I need some time... all alone 
Everybody needs some time... on their own 
Don't you know you need some time... all alone 

And when your fears subside and shadows still remain, oh yeah 
I know that you can love me when there's no one left to blame 
So never mind the darkness we still can find a way 
'Cause nothin' lasts forever even cold November rain 

You're not the only one 
You're not the only one 
Don't ya think that you need somebody 
Don't ya think that you need someone 
Everybody needs somebody 
You're not the only one 
You're not the only one 

Don't ya think that you need somebody 
Don't ya think that you need someone 
Everybody needs somebody 
You're not the only one 
You're not the only one 

Don't ya think that you need somebody 
Don't ya think that you need someone 
Everybody needs somebody 
You're not the only one 
You're not the only one 

Don't ya think that you need somebody 
Don't ya think that you need someone 
Everybody needs somebody

. . .



You know you're all alone 
Your friends they aren't at home 
Everybody's gone to the garden 
As you look into the trees 
You can look but you don't see 
The flowers seem to tease you at the garden 
Everybody's there, but you don't seem to care 
What's it with you man, and this garden 

TURNED INTO MY WORST PHOBIA, 
A CRAZY MAN'S UTOPIA 
IF YOU'RE LOST NO ONE CAN SHOW YA, 
BUT IT SURE WAS GLAD TO KNOW YA 
ONLY POOR BOYS TAKE A CHANCE, 
ON THE GARDEN'S SONG AND DANCE, 
FEEL HER FLOWERS AS THEY WRAP AROUND, 
BUT ONLY SMART BOYS DO WITHOUT 

You can find it all inside 
No need to wrestle with your pride 
No you ain't losin' your mind 
You're just in the garden 
They can lead you to yourself 
Or you can throw it on the shelf 
But you know you can look inside 
For the garden 

I WASN'T REALLY SCARED 
LOST MY VIRGINITY THERE, 
TO A GYPSY WITH BLOND HAIR 
BUT NOW NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE 
LIKE A MOUSE INSIDE A MAZE 
WANDERING ROUND 4 DAZE 
WITH A SMILE UPON MY FACE, 
I NEVER WANNA LEAVE THIS PLACE 
ONLY POOR BOYS TAKE A CHANCE, 
ON THE GARDEN'S SONG AND DANCE, 
FEEL HER FLOWERS AS THEY WRAP AROUND, 
BUT ONLY SMART BOYS DO WITHOUT 
TURNED INTO MY WORST PHOBIA, 
IT'S A CRAZY MAN'S UTOPIA 
IF YOU'RE LOST NO ONE CAN SHOW YA, 
BUT IT SURE WAS GLAD TO KNOW YA 
BYE BYE 
SO LONG, BYE BYE 
IT'S GLAD TO KNOW YA 
BYE BYE 
BYE BYE 
AW...SO LONG

. . .



It's a critical solution
And the east coast got the blues 
It's a mass of confusion 
Like the lies they sell to you 

You got a glass jawed toothache 
Of a mental disease 
An they be runnin' round back 
See 'em line up on their knees 
'Cause the kiss ass sycophants 
Throwin' penance at your feet 
When they got nowhere to go 
Watch 'em come in off the streets 
While they're bangin' out front 
Inside their slammin' to the cruch 
Go on an throw me to the lions 
And the whole damn screamin' bunch 
'Cause the pissed-off rip-offs 
'R' everywhere you turn 
Tell me how a generation's ever s'posed to learn 
This fire is burnin' and it's out of control 
It's not a problem you can stop 
It's rock n' roll 

I read it on a wall 
It went straight to my head 
It said "Dance to the tension of a world on edge" 
We got racial violence and who'll cast the first stone 
And sex is used anyway it can be 
Sometimes when I look out 
It's hard to see the day 
It's a feelin' you can have it 
It's not mine to take away 

Lost in the garden of Eden 
Said we're lost in the garden of Eden 
And there's no one's gonna believe this 
But we're lost in the garden of Eden 
This fire is burnin' and it's out of control 
It's not a problem you can stop 
It's rock n' roll 
Suck on that 

Looking through this point of view 
There's no way I'm gonna fit in 
Don't ya tell me what my eyes see 
Don't ya tell me who to believe in 
I ain't superstitious 
But I know when somethin's wrong 
I've been draggin' my heels with a bitch called hope 
Let the undercurrent drag me along 

Lost in the garden of Eden 
Said we're lost in the garden of Eden 
And there's no one's gonna believe this 
But we're lost in the garden of Eden 

Most organized religions make a mockery of humanity 
Our governments are dangerous and out of control 
The garden of Eden is just another graveyard 
Said if they had someone to buy it 
Said I'm sure they'd sell my soul 

This fire is burnin' and it's out of control 
It's not a problem you can stop 
It's rock n' roll 
Lost in the garden of Eden 
(An we ain't talkin' about no poison apple 
or some missin' rib, ya hear) 
Said we're lost in the garden of Eden 
And there's no one's gonna believe this 
Said we're lost in the garden of Eden 
This fire is burnin' and it's out of control 
It's not a problem you can stop 
It's rock n' roll

Don't damn me when I speak a piece of my mind
'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside 
'Cause I've been where I have been 
An I've seen what I have seen 
I put the pen to the paper 
'Cause it's all a part of me 

Be it a song or casual conversation 
To hold my tongue speaks of quiet reservations 
Your words once heard they can place you in a faction 
My words may disturb but at least there's a reaction 

Sometimes I wanna kill 
Sometimes I wanna die 
Sometimes I wanna destroy 
Sometimes I wanna cry 
Sometimes I could get even 
Sometimes I could give up 
Sometimes I could give 
Sometimes I never give a fuck 

It's only for a while 
I hope you understand 
I never wanted this to happen 
Didn't want to be a man 
So I hid inside my world 
I took what I could find 
I cried when I was lonely 
I fell down when I was blind 

But don't damn me when I speak a piece of my mind 
'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside 
'Cause I've been where I have been 
An I've seen what I have seen 
I put the pen to the paper 
'Cause it's all a part of me 

How can I ever satisfy you 
An how can I ever make you see 
That, deep inside we're all somebody 
An it don't matter who you wanna be 
But now I gotta smile 
I hope you comprehend 
For this man can say it happened 
'Cause this child has been condemned 
So I stepped into your world I kicked you in the mind 
An I'm the only witness to the nature of my crime 

But look at what we've done to the innocent and young 
Whoa listen to who's talking 'cause we're not the only ones 
The trash collected by the eyes and dumped into the brain 
Said it tears into our conscious thoughts you tell me who's to blame 

I know you don't wanna hear me cryin' 
An I know you don't wanna hear me deny 
That your satisfaction lies in your ILLUSIONS 
But your delusions are yours and not mine 
We take for granted we know the whole story 
We judge a book by its cover and read what we want 
Between selected lines 

Don't hail me 
An don't idolize the ink 
Or I've failed in my intentions can you find the missing link 
Your only validation is living your own life 
Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time 
So I send this song to the offended 
I said what I meant and I've never pretended 
As so many others do intending just to please 
If I damned your point of view could you turn the other cheek 

Don't damn me when I speak a piece of my mind 
'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside 
'Cause I've been where I have been 
An I've seen what I have seen 
I put the pen to the paper 
'Cause it's all a part of me 
Don't damn me 
I said don't damn me 
I said don't hail me 
Don't damn me

. . .



Diamonds and fast cars
Money to burn 
I got my head in the clouds 
I got these thoughts to churn 
Got my feet in the sand 
I got a house on the hill 
I got a headache like a mother 
Twice the price of my thrills 
An it's a cold day it's a continental drift 
I said this traffic is hell 
Can you give me a lift 
An I'll try to paint a story 
Got your pictures to tell 
Yeah you got to make a living 
With what you bring yourself to sell 

I got some genuine 
Imitation 
Bad Apples 
Free sample 
For your peace o' mind 
Only $9.95 
I got my camera back from customs 
Got my law fees up to date 
Hell they musta seen me comin' 
Ain't this life so fuckin' great 

When the shit hit the fan 
It was all I could stand 
Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer 
My body's breathing while it can 
But what I don't understand is that 
My world ain't gettin' no brighter 
If I could touch the sky 
Well I would float on by 
While everybody's talkin' 
Hell I'm just another guy 
If it were up to me 
I'd say just leave me be 
Why let one bad apple 
Spoil the whole damn bunch 

Gold and caviar 
Now why'nt you pour my apathy 
I'd have all my bases covered 
If I could teach my hands to see 
But now we're down in the deep end 
Where they'd love to watch you drown 
I said your laundry could use washing 
We'll hang it up all over town 
I said Hollywood's like a dryer 
An we're down on Sunset Strip 
An you'll be suckin' down the Clorox 
'Til your life's all nice and crisp 

When the shit hit the fan 
It was all I could stand 
Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer 
My body's breathing while it can 
But what I don't understand is that 
My world ain't gettin' no brighter 
If I could touch the sky 
Well I would float on by 
While everybody's talkin' 
Hell I'm just another guy 
If it were up to me 
I'd say just leave me be 
Why let one bad apple 
Spoil the whole damn bunch 

When the shit hit the fan 
It was all I could stand 
Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer 
My body's breathing while it can 
But what I don't understand is that 
My world ain't gettin' no brighter 
If I could touch the sky 
Well I would float on by 
While everybody's talkin' 
Hell I'm just another guy 
If it were up to me 
I'd say just leave me be 
Why let one bad apple 
Spoil the whole damn bunch 
Why let one bad apple 
Spoil the whole damn bunch 
BOY!!

. . .



Sick of this life
Not that you'd care 
I'm not the only one with whom these feelings I share 

Nobody understands, quite why we're here 
We're searchin' for answers 
That never appear 

But maybe if I looked real hard I'd 
I'd see your tryin' too 
To understand this life that we're all goin' through 
(Then when she said she was gonna like 
wreck my car... I didn't know what to do) 

Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse 
An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down 
I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more 
It may sound funny but you'd think by now 
I'd be smilin' 
I guess some things never change 
Never change 

I met an old cowboy 
I saw the look in his eyes 
Somethin' tells me he's been here before 
'Cause experience makes you wise 
I was only a small child 
When the thought first came to me 
That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son 
That brought back the devil in me 

Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse 
An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down 
I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more 
It may sound funny but you'd think by now 
I'd be smilin' 
I guess some things never change 
Never change 

I ain't quite what you'd call an old soul 
Still wet behind the ears 
I been around this track a couple o' times 
But now the dust is startin' to clear 
Oh yeah!!! 

Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse 
An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down 
I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more 
It may sound funny but you'd think by now 
I'd be smilin' 
Ooh yeah, I'd be smilin' 
No way I'd be smilin' 
Ooh smilin' 

Sick of this life 
Not that you'd care 
I'm not the only one 
With whom these feelings I share

. . .



Hey you caught me in a coma
And I don't think I wanna 
Ever come back to this... world again 
Kinda like it in a coma 
'Cause no one's ever gonna 
Oh, make me come back to this... world again 
Now I feel as if I'm floating away 
I can't feel all the pressure and I like it this way 
But my body's callin' 
My body's callin' 
Won't ya come back to this... world again 
Suspended deep in a sea of black 
I've got the light at the end 
I've got the bones on the mast 
Well I've gone sailin', I've gone sailin' 
I could leave so easily 
While friends are calling back to me 
I said they're 
They're leaving it all up to me 
When all I needed was clarity 
And someone to tell me 
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON 
GODDAMN IT! 

Slippin' farther an farther away 
It's a miracle how long we can stay 
In a world our minds created 
In a world that's full of shit 

HELP ME 
HELP ME 
HELP ME 
HELP ME 
BASTARD 

Please understand me 
I'm climbin' through the wreackage 
Of all my twisted dreams 
But this cheap investigation just 
can't stifle all my screams 
And I'm waitin' at the crossroads 
Waiting for you 
Waiting for you 
WHERE ARE YOU? 

No one's gonna bother me anymore 
No one's gonna mess with my head no more 
I can't understand what all the fightin's for 
But it's so nice here down off the shore 
I wish you could see this 'cause there's nothing to see 
It's peaceful here and it's fine with me 
Not like the world where I used to live 
I NEVER REALLY WANTED TO LIVE 

ZAP HIM AGAIN 
ZAP THE SON OF A BITCH AGAIN 

Ya live your life like it's a coma 
So won't you tell me why we'd wanna 
With all the reasons you give it's 
It's kinda hard to believe 
But who am I to tell you that I've seen 
Any reason why you should stay 
Maybe we'd be better off 
Without you anyway 
You got a one way ticket 
On your last chance ride 
Gotta one way ticket 
To your suicide 
Gotta one way ticket 
An there's no way out alive 
An all this crass communication 
That has left you in the cold 
Isn't much for consolation 
When you feel so weak and old 
But is home is where the heart is 
Then there's stories to be told 
No you don't need a doctor 
No one else can heal your soul 

Got your mind in submission 
Got your life on the line 
But nobody pulled the trigger 
They just stepped aside 
They be down by the water 
While you watch 'em waving goodbye 
They be callin' in the morning 
They be hangin' on the phone 
They be waiting for an answer 
But you know nobody's home 
And when the bell's stopped ringing 
It was nobody's fault but your own 
There were always ample warnings 
There were always subtle signs 
And you would have seen it comin' 
But we gave you too much time 
And when you said that no one's listening 
Why'd your best friend drop a dime 
Sometimes we get so tired of waiting 
For a way to spend our time 
An "It's so easy" to be social 
"It's so easy" to be cool 
Yeah it's easy to be hungry 
When you ain't got shit to lose 
And I wish that I could help you 
With what you hope to find 
But I'm still out here waiting 
Watching reruns of my life 
When you reach the point of breaking 
Know it's gonna take some time 
To heal the broken memories 
That another man would need 
Just to survive
