I keep falling on my face
I keep dodging stones
I've got a black hole in my vein
where all my money goes
I keep coming up empty
I hear life in tones
I've got a black hole in my heart
where all my sorrow goes

I used to wander
through the backyards of your town
I used to holler
"can you hear me? Don't leave me alone"

Grey fog overcast cloud nine
I feel over thrown
Round and round around it goes
where I'll stop no one knows

I know your father
and the back roads of your town
If you would bother
Can't you hear me? Don't leave me alone

I used to wander
through the back woods of your town
I used to holler
Can you hear me don't leave me
I know your mother
and I've looked you up and down
if it's no bother
Can't you hear me? Don't leave me alone
