Well I know, you couldn't love me Cause you're promised to a wealthy man Take a look, what are you seein'? Is that a noose or a wedding band
Should I go to see a healer Nervous twitchin' in my hands Nervous twitchin' in my head
God help me rid this feelin' Cause I'm fallin' all to pieces And I can't get out of bed
Beggars and hangers-on Try to take you from me Someone with a Bible in his pocket Clouding everything you see Beggars and hangers-on They chip it away Bury your soul in the river Cause the end is here to stay
God help me rid this feelin' Cause I'm fallin' all to pieces And I can't get out of bed
I was wrong I don't need you It seems reckless And unfair Better days Are far behind Guess that's another cross I'll have to bear
I know that there's a time and a reason To take the ghost and lock it up inside And maybe I am down But I'm not beaten Like anything We were born to die
Beggars and hangers-on Try to take you from me Someone with a Bible in his pocket
Clouding everything you see Beggars and hangers-on They chip it away Bury your soul in the river Cause the end is here to stay Beggars and hangers-on Beggars and hangers-on No no no no No no no no No no no no
