Well, I'm turning in voices, I don't want them no' more

Took off, my baby, I'll be useless in the morning

My heart is all in tatters, I ain't nobody sane

Just trying not to call you, t-t-trying not to call you

When I learned the rules, out with the wolves

I'm vicious now honey, cool and unprincipled

With tears in my eyeballs, wine on my lips

Aha

All my love, my love is a plague

Ain't that a shame? Ain't that a shame?

Of all the winds and weeds(?), just the same

I can't feel the pain! Ain't that a shame?

Now somebody hit the lights, get some ropes and medicines

And think about the shoot-up and how it's gonna end

Last night I was freezin', tonight I'm soaking wet

Well, I must have had a fever, salivating in my bed

When I learned the rules, out with the wolves

I'm vicious now honey, dumb and insatiable

With tears in my eyeballs, your name on my lips

Aha

All my love, my love is a plague

Ain't that a shame? Ain't that a shame?

Of all the winds and weeds(?), just the same

I can't feel the pain! Ain't that a shame?

(Bridge)

Oh, my love, she's a plague, ain't that a shame?

And you know you're gonna wait so long

Time slips away till you can't feel the kick

My, how it tames, I stood out on that phone

And waited in vain, blew back my baby

All my love, my love is a plague

Ain't that a shame? Ain't that a shame?

Of all the winds and weeds(?), just the same

I can't feel the pain! Ain't that a shame?
