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 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 Then you know what he'll try to find Such a shame Now's 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 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 Then you know what he'll try to find Shooting up in vain Such a shame Such a shame 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 Got a one-way ticket on a derailed train Got a one-way ticket on a derailed train Shooting up in vain Such a shame Such a shame Got a one-way ticket on a derailed train Got to stop shooting up in vain (repeat)
