Ain't That A Shame

Well I'm tired of hearing voices, I don't want to hear no more
So call somebody, baby, I'll be useless in the morning
My heart is all in tatters, I ain't nobody's saint
I'm just trying not to call you, t-t-trying not to call you
And I'll learn the rules, out with the wolves
I'm vicious now, cool and unprincipled
With tears in my eyeballs, wine on my lips, uh huh.

And all my love, my love is a plague
Ain't that a shame, ain't that a shame
I throb and wince and weep just the same
I can't feel a thing
Ain't that a shame.

Now somebody hit the lights, get the ropes and medicines
And think about it, sugar, and how it's going to end
Last night I was freezing, tonight I'm soaking wet
Well I must've had a fever salivating in my bed
I'll learn the rules, out with the wolves
I'm vicious now honey, dumb and insatiable
with tears in my eyeballs, your name on my lips, uh huh.

All my love, my love is a plague
Ain't that a shame, ain't that a shame
I throb and wince and weep just the same
I can't feel a thing
Ain't that a shame.

All my love, she's a plague
Ain't that a shame.

And you know you're going to wait so long
Time slips away, 'til you can't feel it kick, my how it changed
I stood on the platform waiting in vain
Blue light, my baby.

All my love, my love is a plague
Ain't that a shame, ain't that a shame
My poisonous fingers right in your veins
Who do you love? who do you blame?
And nobody knows what trouble I'm in
Ain't that a shame, ain't that a shame
My poisonous fingers inside your veins, gonna get you someday
Now ain't that a shame.
