Pools of pain surrounding me in shades of green
Rats and snakes they always try to get the best of me
But they won't, never know when the time is right to take the reins
Down the road they'll come to find out anyway but it's too late you know

We just like pretendin'
That they're everything they're not
I don't like it I, don't need it
I don't want it 'cause baby I'm through believin' it and I

Got no shame, well I got no one to blame
All the same, gonna taste the wine
'Cause it's right there in front of me

Walk the streets a carryin' in a, heavy load and
Hounds of love are comin' and so I take a left turn back down the right road
Sister sweet she told me 'bout it just can't seem to live without it
Black cat open my eyes forever baby don't you waste your time
I found shelter helter skelter back inside me, you won't find me

Got no shame, well I got no one to blame
Got no shame, all the stakes are high like no blue sky
It's all the same but you will never feel it

You know you just like pretendin'
That they're everything you're not
I don't like it, I don't need it
I won't take it at all

Got no shame, well I got no one to blame
Got no shame, all the stakes are high
Like no blue sky baby-honey

Got no shame, well I got no one to blame
All the same, gonna taste the wine
'Cause it's right there in front of me
You won't find me never get inside of me
