Shooting Up In Vain |
| Waking up as the sun goes down |
| Body all in pain |
| Straight out the door to the worst part of town |
| Shooting up in vain |
| Slips all his money to the man |
| Here we go again, here we go again |
| Got bags of mercy in the palm of his hand |
| Shooting up in vain |
| And so he heads for the closest rooftop |
| And now he’s free with the skyline behind |
| But it won’t be long until his high will drop |
| And then you know what he’ll try to find |
| Such a shame |
| Now he’s back on that hunt for more |
| Body all in pain |
| Wanting to get back to where he was before |
| Shooting up in vain |
| So now he goes and sells his wedding ring |
| Here we go again, here we go again |
| But now he’s sold exactly everything |
| Shooting up in vain |
| And so he heads for the closest rooftop |
| And now he’s free with the skyline behind |
| But it won’t be long until his high will drop |
| And then you know what he’ll try to find |
| Shooting up in vain |
| Down to bed as the sun goes up Body all in pain |
| Now he swears he’s going to stop |
| Shooting up in vain |
| He’s Dr. Jekyll and he’s Mr. Hyde |
| He’s got to listen to that voice deep inside |
| He’s got a one-way ticket on a derailed train |
| He’s got a one-way ticket on a derailed train |
| Shooting up in vain |
| Got to stop shooting up in vain |
| He’s got a one-way ticket on a derailed train |
| He’s got a one-way ticket on a derailed train |
| Got to stop shooting up in vain |
| He’s got a one-way ticket on a derailed train |
