Do it Again

(from the CD An Angel Somewhere)

Jump on stage play the part
Pick up your pay and sell your heart again
Sell it again
Go on the road and make some bread
Blow it on a hooker in a hotel bed again
Blow it again
Keep playing around
Until the highway out of town
Looks like your one and only friend
Your one and only friend.

Pop them pills drink that booze
Try to escape the lonesome blues again
The lonesome blues again
Run away fast run away slow
Lose the race and go back to go again
Go back to go again
Keep on drinking 'til you drop
And keep on writing
'Til your hand can't hold the pen
Your hand can't hold the pen.

You see too much you see too deep
At night you cry yourself to sleep again
Cry yourself to sleep again
Dream of money dream of fame
Dream that love can be more than a game again
More than just a game again
Stare the night between the eyes
Until you know how Daniel felt
In the lions den
In the lions den.

Hold me tighter darling, I swear I'm dying
Give me one good reason to keep on trying.

Find a wife settle down
Build a house and the world goes round again
The world goes round again
You're in love and so is she
You're as happy as a pair of fools can be again
And fools can be again
Then one fine day you find
Your love's flown out the window
And you're looking at the end.

Take a gamble place a bet
Lose everything and end up in debt again
End up in debt again
Deep in the red with an empty sack
And a bleeding heart and an broken back again
A broken back again!
Drown your memories
With a whisky
As your future disappears around the bend
Around the bend.
