The black gets hard to wake from lately

The dead cry out to heed the call

Tussled man waves from the coke stand
G D
Wake up where's my methadone
C D
[Chorus]
G C
Well I keep waiting while lifes riddle changes
D G
and no one brought the answers to me yet

If I keep drinkin with strungout broken angels

then one day I won’t wake up you can bet

When you’re strong I’ll be your weakness,

when you’re weak I’d be your strength.

It's all just pantomime for blind kids

aboard these wagons we all ride

Well I keep waiting while lifes riddle changes

If I keep drinkin with strungout broken angels

then one day I won’t wake up you can bet

You're only lonely when you’re wasted,

only hear when I don’t call,

another sober night on mainstreet,
G D
another fucked up night alone

If I keep drinkin with strungout broken angels
