The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I leave this old town it makes me diseased
With my rauchy bag full of wasted dreams
My heart is raped and my soul is abused
They took my pride i've got nothing to loose
What if my way is not long enough?
What if i've not done my stuff?
Lying underneath the sky
My comb is the wind and my coat is the night
Drink my booze with lucifer
Won't take me turn for better
I take his hand cause i won't walk alone
My shadow will disappear before it's dawn
I take a look at the boys in the pub
They drink cause they're happy
I drink cause i'm lost
Sit on the top of a small garbage heap
Scrap out myself and just weep
Lying underneath the sky
My comb is the wind and my coat is the night
Drink my booze with lucifer
Won't take me turn for better
...and we're all looking for love
