lyrics

EVERYTIME I THINK OF YOU
I CANT GET THROUGH THE NIGHT
SIX LONG YEARS WAS THE HARDEST FIGHT
SWEATING IN MY SLEEP
TRYING TO BEAT THE SUMMER HEAT
CONFUSED AND HELPLESS
I’M SLIPPING AGAIN AND AGAIN

ANOTHER BOTTLE DOWN
(TO FEEL NUMB AGAIN)
ANOTHER SMOKE TO LIGHT
(TO INHALE DEATH AGAIN)

ANOTHER HOUR SLIPS
(TO BE A WORKING MAN)
ANOTHER GASPING SOUND
(TO HEAR MYSELF ONCE MORE)

TIME TO KICK THE CHAIR
AND THROW IN THE TOWEL
AS THE NOOSE GETS TIGHT
HELP ME MAKE IT RIGHT
AND TAKE ME AWAY
TAKE ME AWAY

ANOTHER BOTTLE DOWN
(TO FEEL NUMB AGAIN)
ANOTHER SMOKE TO LIGHT
(TO INHALE DEATH AGAIN)

ANOTHER HOUR SLIPS
(TO BE A WORKING MAN)
ANOTHER GASPING SOUND
(TO HEAR MYSELF ONCE MORE, ONCE MORE)

JUST WHAT KIND OF MAN AM I?
YOU COWARD, YOU COWARD
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

BLACK OUT THE SUNLIGHT
AND TAKE ME AWAY
YOU COWARD, YOU COWARD
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
