Beggars and Hangers-On
Well, I know you couldn't love me
'Cause you're promised to a wealthy man
Take a look, what are you seein'
Is that a noose or a wedding band?
Should I go to see a healer
Nervous twitchin' in my hands
Ooh, nervous twitchin' in my head
God help me rid this feeling'
'Cause I'm falling 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 everywhere 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 feeling'
'Cause I'm falling' 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 day's are far behind me
Guess that's another cross, I'll have to bear
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
They chip it away
Bury your soul in the river
'Cause the end is here to stay
Beggars and hangers-on
Beggars and hangers-on
No no, no no, no no, no no
No no, no no, no no, no no
No no, no no, no no, no no
No no, no no, no no, no no
No no, no no
