The night passed
sorrow drowned in my whiskey glass As I tried to forget
The dawn came
The light barged in to awake my shame with a newborn regret
I need a cigarrette

Chorus
Take a shower
wash it all off
got to get myself together cos this just cannot happen anymore

I gotta stop
i gotta clean up
I keep shooting my big mouth off
I cant let this happen anymore

I'm toxic
knock a coffee back for a caffeine kick
cant open my eyes
my hands twitch
Nicotine patch don't scratch the itch
but I'll make it this time
gotta make it this time

Chorus
Take a shower
wash it all off
got to get myself together cos this just cannot happen anymore

I gotta stop
i gotta clean up
I keep shooting my big mouth off
I just cant let this happen anymore

BRIDGE
I gotta find another way to escape
I keep putting my foot in my mouth like a 2 bit ape
I gotta find a better way to flick the switch

than running round town like a clown turned lunatic
Chorus
Take a shower
wash it all off
got to get myself together cos this just cannot happen anymore

I gotta stop
i gotta clean up
I keep shooting my big mouth off
I have been here many times before
And I have said this many times before
