Well I know, you couldn't love me
'cause you're promised to, a wealthy man
take a look, what are you seeing
is that a noose, or a wedding band?
Should I go, to see a healer
nervous twitchin' in my hands
nervous twitchin' in my head
God help me rid this feelin'
'cause I'm fallin' all to pieces
and I can't get out of bed
Beggars and hangers-on
try to take you from me
someone with a bible in his pocket
clouding everything you see
Beggars and hangers-on
they chip it away
bury your soul in the river
'cause the end is here to stay
God help me rid this feelin'
'cause I'm fallin' all to pieces
and I can't get out of bed
I was wrong I don't need you
it seems reckless and unfair
better days
are far behind
guess that's another cross I'll have to bare
I know that there's a time and a reason
to take the ghost and lock it up inside
and maybe I am down
but I'm not beaten
like anything
we were born to die
Beggars and hangers-on
try to take you from me
someone with a bible in his pocket
clouding everything you see
Beggars and hangers-on
no no no no
no no no no
no no no no
