I've been drinking with the devil baby,
he's my only friend.
I've been trying hard to get it right,
I only lose again.
Can't you see that I'm a broken man?
Can anybody understand?
I've been trying hard to get it right.
Your eyes tell me things,
such a pretty mouth just can't say.
When they're turning blue,
I see them fade away.
woo..
I've been getting lost again.
In the city, the night begins again.
I remember when I saw you first,
through the window the freezing rain.
Streetlight burning in your room,
I died and was born again.
Your eyes tell me things
such a pretty mouth just can't say.
When they're turning blue I see them fade away.
Woo...
I've been getting lost again
The cars speeding, hearts bleeding my only friend.
Woo..
I've been getting lost again
(I remember when i saw you first)
in the city.
Cars speeding, hearts bleeding my only friend.
My only friend.
Your eyes tell me things
such a pretty mouth just can't say.
When they're turning blue, I see them fade away.
Woo..
I've been getting lost again.
I've been drinking, drinking with the devil baby.
Can't you see i'm a broken man,
can anybody understand?
I've been trying hard to get it right,
I just might.
(I've been trying hard to get it right).
