Losing My Head
Neon signs are buzzing, man, it's Saturday night
The room is shakin' and I'm fakin' everything is all right
But all I wanna do is kill for a girl
Who came in quick and burned up my whole world
I went to the bar with all my troubles,
Saying "Pour me a whiskey... and make it a double."
I've got no money but I've got my pride
Got an angel on my shoulder and a devil inside
With a mean old hunger that'll never be fed
I ain't got you and I'm losing my head.
I couldn't get to sleep for about three weeks
I's the only one who'd listen anytime that I'd speak
Fumble through my house pulling out my hair
Haunted by a telephone that ain't even there
Found a bullet for my pain but I couldn't find a gun
So I laid down on the tracks but the train wouldn't come
I've got no money but I've got my pride
Got an angel on my shoulder and a devil inside
With a mean old hunger that'll never be fed
I ain't got you and I'm losing my head.
All my friends are telling me "It just takes time"
But the fall is always harder the higher you climb
"You're running like a machine with a few screws loose
And you'll never find the truth buried with an excuse"
They say "No miracle will ever bring her back
Man, you gotta find out how to make up for what you lack."
I've got no money but I've got my pride
Got an angel on my shoulder and a devil inside
With a mean old hunger that'll never be fed
I ain't got you and I'm losing my head.
