lyrics
END IS NIGH
Gonna go round town, gonna lose my way
I Know i’m going down, gonna feel that sting
Know I’m going down, hear me when I sing
Lord Im goin’ down won’t ya help me
I’m gonna go round town, gonna lose my way
I Know i’m going down, gonna feel that sting
Know I’m going down, hear me when I sing
Lord Im goin’ down won’t ya help me
Ya know what those sad folks say
Tomorrow is another day well,
I ain’t seen the sun in a long time
Woah-oh
Don’t know what tomorrow brings… I
Don’t know why the cage bird sings….. I
Don’t know much of anything
Painted nails and a heart of stone
My soulless shoes won’t walk me home
I hear your voice although it’s gone
It echoes in my head this empty song
It may be sad but true
I gotta case of those devil blues
Skeletons in my closet keep me up at night
I hear them rattlin bones, they won’t leave me alone
The end is nigh god’s calling on the telephone
Painted nails and a heart of stone
My soulless shoes won’t walk me home
I hear your voice although it’s gone
It echo’s in my head this empty song
Still I hear them rattling bones, I mistook them bones for my own
Still I hear them rattling bones, I mistook them bones for my own
Gonna go round town, gonna lose my way
I Know i’m going down, gonna feel that sting
Know I’m going down, hear me when I sing
Lord Im goin’ down won’t ya help me
I’m gonna go round town, gonna lose my way
I Know i’m going down, gonna feel that sting
Know I’m going down, hear me when I sing
Lord Im goin’ down won’t ya help me
Ya know what those sad folks say
Tomorrow is another day well,
I ain’t seen the sun in a long time
Woah-oh
Don’t know what tomorrow brings… I
Don’t know why the cage bird sings….. I
Don’t know much of anything
Painted nails and a heart of stone
My soulless shoes won’t walk me home
I hear your voice although it’s gone
It echoes in my head this empty song
It may be sad but true
I gotta case of those devil blues
Skeletons in my closet keep me up at night
I hear them rattlin bones, they won’t leave me alone
The end is nigh god’s calling on the telephone
Painted nails and a heart of stone
My soulless shoes won’t walk me home
I hear your voice although it’s gone
It echo’s in my head this empty song
Still I hear them rattling bones, I mistook them bones for my own
Still I hear them rattling bones, I mistook them bones for my own
