It's been a long, long time coming
Everyone knows that a girl this stunning
Falls in love and hits the ground running away
It's been a long, lonely couple
Years of hard times and trouble
Add in the drugs that multiply and double the pain
Oh, lord
Oh, the horror
My soul can't get no poorer
Kill me now
I've been living for her anyhow
I still haunt the cemetery
Where her love for me's been buried
Everything is momentary then it's still
If only she'd hold me gently
I wouldn't spend another pretty penny
Shooting stars through a rolled up twenty dollar bill
Oh, lord
Oh, the horror
My soul can't get no poorer
Kill me now
I've been living for her anyhow
And I make a steady living
Staying unforgiven
It's the dimension I live in
Never mentioning whats within
So I stay away from people
And make the earth my equal
That all apparent evil
Is giving birth to the sequel
Half dead in the head I'm trapped in
I can't imagine what really happened
Just blame it all on the coked up captain of escape
But you can bet I'll keep these sweet cheeks pinned up
I'll break my back trying to keep my chin up
Oh, I don't know, but I feel so bent up out of shape
Oh, lord
Oh, the horror
My soul can't get no poorer
Kill me now
I've been living for her anyhow
