Darkness falls around your eyes lightning flashes across the sky You’re sitting in the back room getting high Needle in your arm and a buzz in your head layin’ down to sleep in a burning bed Living like you would be better off dead Chorus Shoot up shot down soul is Hell bound lies and deceit abound Bloodshot eyes in a daze swimming around in a coked-up haze not concerned about the price you’ll have to pay Jack Daniels and LSD you think getting high helps you see But nothing in life comes for free Chorus Shoot up shot down soul is Hell bound lies and deceit abound Crack-brain insane mind is going lameBirth sign: Leo
