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
