lyrics

The songs don't come like they used to now
I am old and on my own with nothing to care about
It seems I sit for ages while my rhythms gather dust
And I'm caught in a delusion of a truth that never was
Sweet injection it's been so long
Since I felt connected to lives of anyone
So cut me loose and let me roam free
And I swear this time around I'm gonna come back clean
Squatting in your doorway and I'll be here through the night
In my backwards way of thinking I have come to make it right
And although I may have drained you I could never drain enough
So I scream into your window pleading you to open up
Sweet injection it's been so long
Since I felt connected to lives of anyone
So cut me loose and let me roam free
And I swear this time around I'm gonna come back clean
Watch the old blues singer stick a needle in his veins
The rush is overwhelming but the struggle stays the same
He's holding out for something he knows he'll never see
Addicted to the flow of his own desparity
Sweet injection it's been so long
Since I felt connected to lives of anyone
So cut me loose and let me roam free
And I swear this time around I'm gonna come back clean
