Put me in a bed of roses, it'll end my suffering,
cause there's ghosts inside this city and they love to hear me scream.
I've got a baby to take care of!
And she's feelin' pretty week!
Stay the hell away from me, I need somethin' to help me sleep!
It gets cold this side of springtime, I can feel it in my bones.
It's the way you make me shiver with your dulcet vocal tones.
I've got poison in my veins!
And you're the one to blame!
Stay the hell away from me and I won't have to feel that pain!
A lot of folks'll tell you I just wanna make her mine, but I'm the one who won't cause she just wants to waste her time.
I've got patience on my side,
but it's a long hard riiiiiiiiide!
Stay the hell away from me and I won't have to see that side!
I call this one my lovesong blues.
Don't feel like it's directed at you.
I need some distance, Lord I need some peace.
Love will never help me slay this beast.
LOVE WILL NEVER HELP ME SLAY THIS BEAST!!!
