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 You 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' a heavy load Hounds of love are comin', 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 take the wine 'Cause it's right there in front of me You won't find me never get inside of me
