Shooting Up In Vain

Lyrics

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
 CHORUS:
 So he heads for the closest rooftop
 And now he's free with the skyline begind
 But it won't be long until his high will drop
 Then you know what he'll try to find
 Such a shame
 Now 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
 CHORUS
 Such a shame
 Down to the 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)
