Eagle Eye Cherry: "Shooting Up In Vain" Lyrics

Waking up as the sun goes down

Body all in pain

Straight out the door to the worst part of town

Shooting up in vain



Slips all his money to the man

Here we go again....here we go again

Got bags of mercy in the palm of his hand

Shooting up in vain



Chorus:

So he heads for the closest rooftop

And now hes free with the skyline begind

But it wont be long until his high will drop

Then you know what hell try to find

Such a shame



Now hes back on that hunt for more

Body all in pain

Wanting to get back to where he was before

Shooting up in vain

So now he goes and sells his wedding ring

Here we go again......here we go again

But now hes sold exactly everything

Shooting up in vain



Chorus



Such a shame



Down to the bed as the sun goes up

Body all in pain

Now he swears hes going to stop

Shooting up in vain

Hes dr. jekyll and hes mr. hyde

Hes got to listen to that voice deep inside

Got a one-way ticket on a derailed train

Got a one-way ticket on a derailed train

Shooting up in vain

Such a shame

Such a shame



Got a one-way ticket on a derailed train



Got to stop shooting up in vain.............(repeat)
