Shooting Up In Vain - Eagle Eye Cherry

Waking up as the sun goes down 
Body all in pain 
Straight out the door to the worst part of town 
Shooting up in vain 

Slips all his money to the man 
Here we go again...here we go again 
Got bags of mercy in the palm of his hand 
Shooting up in vain 

So he heads for the closest rooftop 
And now he's free with the skyline behind 
But it won't be long until his high will drop 
Then you know what he'll try to find 
Such a shame 

Now's he's back on that hunt for more 
Body all in pain 
Wanting to get back to where he was before 
Shooting up in vain 
So now he goes and sells his wedding ring 
Here we go again...here we go again 
But now he's sold exactly everything 
Shooting up in vain 

So he heads for the closest rooftop 
And now he's free with the skyline behind 
But it won't be long until his high will drop 
Then you know what he'll try to find 
Shooting up in vain 
Such a shame 
Such a shame 

Down to bed as the sun goes up 
Body all in pain 
Now he swears he's going to stop 
Shooting up in vain 
He's Dr. Jekyll and he's Mr. Hyde 
He's got to listen to that voice deep inside 
Got a one-way ticket on a derailed train 
Got a one-way ticket on a derailed train 
Shooting up in vain 
Such a shame 
Such a shame 

Got a one-way ticket on a derailed train 
Got to stop shooting up in vain (repeat)
