Текст песни
Lately I've been singing the blues for no apparent reason
I lay around on the couch piss and moan dragging everyone down
Maybe it's always been in my blood stream
Maybe daddy was right when he told me
Boy you're just like your mom, you keep
Your head up your ass all the time
I feel like a fool
Kicking myself black and blue for the choices I made
I'm down and out
Stuck in the mud sinking fast getting worse everyday
Good Lord, won't you throw me a lifeline
A ray of hope in the sunshine
Won't you help me to find my happy ever after, Amen
Lately I'm taking pills by the handful
The doctor told me I need them
Yeah he wrote me a note and said I hope you have a hell of a time
They're too good
Fill me up with a warm rush
The newspaper don't upset me as much
They ain't easy to swallow but it's better than sleeping all day
I'm high as a kite
At least for the time being killing the pain in my heart
Letting go of the guilt and the shame that are tearing my life apart
Good Lord, won't you keep me from crashing
In any way, shape, form or fashion
Can't you fill my prescription happy ever after, Amen
Have mercy on me
Hear my pitiful prayer
I need your sympathy
Cause it feels like nobody cares about me
Since I quit taking care of myself
Oh I'm tired
Tired of the struggle and tired of the lies that I've told
And I'm scared
Scared that my storybook ending will never unfold
Good Lord, I'm not much for confession
But if you could cure my depression
I swear I'll do better
