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
