From the recording GREATEST HITS
Lyrics
I JUST GOT HOME AND I SETTLED DOWN
I SCURRIED TO THE BOTTLE
AND I DRANK IT DOWN
FIVE MORE MINUTES AND I WON’T BE AROUND
SO DON’T COME LOOKING FOR ME
THE SHADOWS ON THE WALL ARE MY BEST FRIENDS
IF YOU ASK ME HOW I AM
I’D SAY - WELL THAT DEPENDS
ON HOW MUCH LONGER THAT I CAN PRETEND
MY LIFE DIDN’T HAPPEN TO ME
I SET MY SOUL ON FIRE
WITH PAPER MACHETE ROSES
I LOOKED FOR LOVE INSPIRED
BY RITUALS AND LIES
I’VE BEEN AFRAID TO WRAP MYSELF
IN SILKEN DREAMS THAT I’VE LET WANDER
AND I CANNOT CARRY ON MUCH LONGER
