lyrics

You have to stop breathing before your die otherwise all is for naught…


I got a smoking cigarette - in the ashtray - staring at me. X2
I’m trying to go to bed - but my deamons - just won’t let me

I lay my head to rest - when the circus music - (starts to) gears up X2
It’s funny how my lady problems - are all about - how I get fucked

When my mojo gets to rising -/- I’d usually - rather just jack-off X2
I hate to be a loser - but I just can’t take no more - broken hearts

So I get high with my buddies - make music - and scream out my soul X2
I’ve been trying to go to church - but I’m afraid - that the devil’s got control

If the blues don’t get me famous, hopefully - I can still afford some whiskey X2
But until then I’ll ~ keep-wailing-out all-the-darkness I can find -/- within me

When the spirits lift my shadows, I’mma hafta give away all my songs X2
Cause I can’t imagine-ripping-my-harp-all-night-and-not-drinking-my-blues-away
-to-the-break-of-
Break of -
dawn
