Shooting Up In Vain - Eagle-Eye Cherry

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

And so he heads for the closest rooftop

And now he’s free with the skyline behind

But it won’t be long until his high will drop

And then you know what he’ll try to find

Such a shame

Now he’s 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 he’s sold exactly everything

Shooting up in vain

And so he heads for the closest rooftop

And now he’s free with the skyline behind

But it won’t be long until his high will drop

And then you know what he’ll try to find

Shooting up in vain

Down to bed as the sun goes up Body all in pain

Now he swears he’s going to stop

Shooting up in vain

He’s Dr. Jekyll and he’s Mr. Hyde

He’s got to listen to that voice deep inside

He’s got a one-way ticket on a derailed train

He’s got a one-way ticket on a derailed train

Shooting up in vain

Got to stop shooting up in vain

He’s got a one-way ticket on a derailed train

He’s got a one-way ticket on a derailed train

Got to stop shooting up in vain

He’s got a one-way ticket on a derailed train
