Well, I'm tired of hearing voices, I don't wanna 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, trying not to call you
And I learned the rules out with the wolves
I'm vicious now, honey, cruel 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 gonna end
Last night I was freezing, tonight I'm soaking wet
Well, I must've had a fever, salivating in my bed
And I learned 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
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
And all my love, she's a plague ain't that a shame
And you know you're gonna wait so long, time slips away
Till you can't feel the kick, my, how we've changed
I stood on the platform, waiting in vain blue light, my baby
And all my love, my love is a plague
Ain't that a shame, ain't that a shame
Like poisonous fingers right in your veins
Who do you love Who do you blame
Nobody knows what trouble I'm in
Ain't that a shame, ain't it a shame
My poisonous fingers inside your veins
They gonna get you someday
Now ain't that a shame
