Seems I've been stuck on the down side of time Too many times I crossed over the line I chased after thrills and I failed the test I'm in a terrible mess The clouds have rolled in and it's lookin' like rain My head's breakin' down and my heart's filled with pain Time to step back and start over I guess I'm in a terrible mess The women I've known have laid me down low I hang out in places I never should go I'm foul and I'm bitter and covered in sin I need to start over again - I argue with friends and I've beaten my wives I'm smokin' and wheezin' and barely alive Kickin' and screamin's my kind of finesse I'm in a terrible mess The priest at the church finally gave up on me I'm waiting to see just how bad I can be I'm blind stinking drunk every morning by ten My lifestyle I cannot defend - I don't have a way to get up off the floor My shades are all drawn and I've locked all the doors Now I have reached my personal best I'm in a terrible mess The priest at the church finally gave up on me I'm waiting to see just how bad I can be I'm blind stinking drunk every morning by ten My lifestyle I cannot defend - I don't have a way to get up off the floor My shades are all drawn and I've locked all the doors Now I have reached my personal best I'm in a terrible mess Raw recording from quite a few years ago.
