| COLD FEELINGS
uninvited feelings they come without warning and they stay too long i don't wanna feel, and if i run they'll be twice as strong. i wait for a warning, i'm waiting for some kind of sign, i try to separate , try to separate my body from my mind. i watch the clock as the second hand slowly goes strolling by. i don't want to feel when a loved one's time comes to die i wait for a warning, i'm waiting for some kind of sign i try to separate, try to separate my body from my mind. cold feelings in the night you know, this feeling just ain't right. and though i try i just can't hide cold feelings in the night yeah i got faith, but sometimes fear it just weighs too much i don't want to feel, cold winds blowin' through me with an icy touch. i wait for a warning, i'm waiting for some kind of sign. i try to separate, try to separate my body from my mind. cold feelings in the night you know, this feeling just ain't right. and though i try i just can't hide cold feelings in the night some people like to gamble, but you, you always lose. some people like to rock 'n' roll, you're always singin' the blues you gotta nasty disposition, no one really knows the reason why, you gotta bad, bad reputation, gonna hang your head down and cry... you got bad, bad luck bad, bad luck you got bad, bad luck bad, bad luck thirteen's my lucky number, to you it means stay inside. black cat done crossed my path, no reason to run and hide. you're looking through a cracked mirror, no one really knows the reason why. your enemies are gettin' nearer, gonna hang down your head and cry... you got bad, bad luck bad, bad luck you got bad, bad luck bad, bad luck some people go to church on sundays, others they pray at home. you tell them that there ain't no god, that they're better off standin' alone. you're always scratchin' at the eight ball, no one really knows the reason why. you get to the top and then you fall, gonna hang down your head and cry... making believe, that you still love me. it's leaving me alone and so blue. i'll always dream, but i'll never own you. making believe, is all i can do. i can't hold you close, darling when you're not near me. you're somebody's love, you'll never be mine. making believe, i'll spend my lifetime loving you and making believe. i was brought in this world 1962, i didn't have much choice you see. but by the time i was eight, i could tell it was too late, i was already barking up the wrong tree. when i was in school you thought i was a fool, in trouble, breaking all the rules. i was absent from class, my daddy spanked my bare ass, but i sure tried hard to be cool. born to lose, was what they said, you know i was better off dead. born to lose, you're just bad news, you don't get a second chance. it was a hot summer night in mid july, a hangover and a black eye. your momma said i was a loser, a dead end cruiser, and deep inside i know that she was right. born to lose, was what they said, you know i was better off dead. born to lose, you're just bad news, you don't get a second chance. i tried to get myself a job because that's the way that things are, wanna have nice things and go far. well i'm sorry honey, i ain't got much money but i can sure play this here old guitar. as the years went on, i made a few mistakes it was a troublebound for this young man. the police knockin' at my door, "well he don't live here no more, and he's playin' in a rock 'n' roll band." born to lose, was what they said, you know i was better off dead. born to lose, you're just bad news, you don't get a second chance. i believed i was wrong but baby now i know, you and your evil ways gotta go. take the key and break away these chains of love, and i'll thank the good lord above. the radio's playin' a sad song... "bye bye baby." well, maybe the others will believe your lies, you can tell those schoolboys your alibis. and baby i'll catch you later on down the line, cuz maybe i got better things on my mind. the band's playin' a sad song... "bye bye baby." i was feelin' kinda beat, i decided to hit the streets. i was lookin' for a place for this heart of mine. well i said to myself, oh god this must be hell i think i was slowly losin' my mind well round and round she goes where she'll stop nobody knows. y'know that woman put a spell on me, but if you start me, start me, start me you can't stop me, stop me, stop me. when she begins to rock, honey, i begin to roll i was hangin' by the phone, tired of sleepin' alone baby tell me where did i go wrong? when minutes seem like hours and days seem like weeks, how could a year last so fucking long? well round and round she goes where she'll stop nobody knows. y'know that woman put a spell on me, but if you start me, start me, start me you can't stop me, stop me, stop me. when she begins to rock, honey, i begin to roll i was hangin' with a couple of chicks, man i was just looking for a place for this raggedy ol' heart of mine. well round and round she goes where she'll stop nobody knows. y'know that woman put a spell on me, but if you start me, start me, start me you can't stop me, stop me, stop me. when she begins to rock, honey, i begin to roll. i'm broken hearted, i'm a broken man. driven by anger, on that night i ran. i had me a woman, i thought that she'd be true. now she's gone and left me, you know her life is through. lonely weekends, baby lonely nights the judge he gave me, ninety nine to life. i wish she could be here, lord if she only could, instead she's layin' in a puddle of blood. she was my baby, thought she'd be my wife. i killed my baby, i killed her with my knife. lonely weekends, baby lonely nights the judge he gave me, ninety nine to life. so alone i'm sittin' in my prison cell lord only knows now, i'm in a living hell, the rest of my life, in this penitentiary, the good lord above now, please have mercy on me. lonely weekends, baby lonely nights the judge he gave me, ninety nine to life. i was born a king of fools most people think i'm just a playboy breaking rules. but they don't know that when it comes around to love i always lose why i call myself the king of fools. i was born never to care but now i want a love that i can share. i've searched in vain for a love that would never be true that's why i call myself the king of fools king of fools, king of fools that's why i call myself the king of fools. i was born without a good thought just to live fast, tell a lie and break a heart. i have broken many hearts and i've broken many rules that's why i call myself the king of fools. i was born the king of fools at any other game i never lose. but when it comes around to love that's when i realize i was born the king of fools. sometimes i like you and sometimes i don't, i feel like i'm gonna and then i won't. sometimes i wanna live to see a hundred, other times i wanna lay down and die. sometimes i'm weak and sometimes i'm strong, you know that i've loved all along. sometimes i'm rich and sometimes i'm poor, nothing really matters when you're dead on the floor. sometimes i'm hot and sometimes i'm cold, sometimes i feel like i'm getting old. sometimes i'm fast and other times i'm slow, other times i don't even want to go. sometimes i laugh and sometimes i cry, other times i sit and wonder why. sometimes i'm up and sometimes i'm down, other times i wanna blow this town. as i'm looking back on broken down dreams heartbreaks and memories that i've had. i made it through the hard times and came back a stronger man but this time darling it's just not the same down the lonely stairs with a suitcase in my hand misery can be a heavy load. i've made it through the hard times and in vain i made it back but this time darling it's just not the same in the morning i was lonely but never bothered to cry never even stopped to wonder why leaving was just another part of the game but this time darling it's just not the same in the morning i was lonely but never bothered to cry never even stopped to wonder why leaving was just another part of the game but this time darling it's just not the same as i'm looking back on broken down dreams heartbreaks and memories that i've had. i made it through the hard times and came back a stronger man but this time darling it's just not the same this time darling it's just not the same this time darling it's just not the same this time darling it's just not the same ever since my baby left me you know this ghost town ain't no fun no more she stole my heart away from me and then she dropped it on the floor my outside's tough, hellbent leather overcoat of what was once a man but inside's a little broken hearted boy whose feelings he cannot stand. i've got these ghost town blues with nothing left to lose the noose swings high up on the gallows in the wind i've got these ghost town blues i feel like an undertaker dressed in black but no one left for dead she left me in a heartbeat and now there's no one left to sleep in my bed where laughs and cries and memories were once now lie and tumbleweeds and dust and an empty graveyard feeling that began once just as a childhood lust i've got these ghost town blues with nothing left to lose the noose swings high up on the gallows in the wind i've got these ghost town blues my pontiac spit back feelings of contempt out the exhaust a hundred miles an hour down a highway. well i'm beat up and i'm lost she's gone and i know it, like an outlaw she ran for the hills and i'll start a brand new life with a new girl and these same old ghost town thrills. i've got these ghost town blues with nothing left to lose the noose swings high up on the gallows in the wind i've got these ghost town blues. |
