Well I know, you couldn¹t love me

Cause you¹re promised to a wealthy man

Take a look, what are you seein¹ ?

Is that a noose or a wedding band



Should I go to see a healer

Nervous twitchin¹ in my hands

Nervous twitchin¹ in my head



God help me rid this feelin¹

Cause I¹m fallin¹ all to pieces

And I cna¹t get out of bed



Beggars and hangers-on

Try to take you from me

Someone with a Bible in his pocket

Clouding everything you see

Beggars and hangers-on

They chip it away

Bury your soul in the river

Cause the end is here to stay



God help me rid this feelin¹

Cause I¹m fallin¹ all to pieces

And I can¹t get out of bed



I was wrong

I don¹t need you

It seems reckless

And unfair

Better days

Are far behind

Guess that¹s another cross

I¹ll have to bear



I know that there¹s a time

and a reason

To take the ghost and lock it up inside

And maybe I am down

But I¹m not beaten

Like anything

We were born to die



Beggars and hangers-on

Try to take you from me

Someone with a Bible in his pocket

Clouding everything you see

Beggars and hangers-on

They chip it away

Bury your soul in the river

Cause the end is here to stay

Beggars and hangers-on

Beggars and hangers-on

No no no no

No no no no

No no no no
