(You) tell me I'm lost and I don't seem too sure what to do
(You) tell me I'm lost and I don't seem too sure what to do
There's a fire in my head and I'm blinded by bullets
There's a fire in my head and I'm blinded by bullets
Dancing to nowhere, I'm losing my head and I'm
Dancing to nowhere, I'm losing my head and I'm
And the man at the bar that (night) recall that he needed me
And the man at the bar that (night) recall that he needed me
Sister, I've lost all the feeling
I'm lost and I'm sold
I lay down beside you
Sister, I'm blinded
It's only my eyes
I've sold them before
The man said the drinking is handled (by pouring it right)
The man said the drinking is handled (by pouring it righ)
And It seemed much the same when he pointed the gun at his head
And It seemed much the same when he pointed the gun at his head
(Who'd need me then)
In raise of much noise and I checked out the time, yeah
Let all my face down (in the words) of a stranger
Sister, I've lost all the feeling
I'm lost and I'm sold
I lay down beside you
Sister, I'm blinded
It's only my eyes
I've sold them before
