For forty days and for forty nights
I been walkin' down these streets
Tryin' to get it right
But down there lies darkness
Down there lies the past
Down there my conscience
Kinda kicked my a**
You got me runnin' for cover
Runnin' from bein' me
You got me runnin' for cover
For cryin' out loud
I hear them moanin' from distant lands
Have some hookers shut 'em up with some swollen glands
Now beggin's changed, I guess you'll do
Just a hood rat all jacked off and tangled up in blue
There's blood at home, there's blood on my street
How am I to smile in complete defeat?
Well, I'm jumpin' into limbo, tryin' to feel alive
I'm jumpin' into limbo and I like it
You got me runnin' for cover
Runnin' from bein' me
You got me runnin' for cover
For cryin' out loud
Into the quiet dusk I see curvy clouds chokin' up on irony
I give it a pause and I break to the left
But I'm wasted and I can't seem to catch my breath
Here I go, just one more time
Findin' out what's goin' on with the party line
Well, I'm jumpin' into limbo tryin' to feel alive
I'm jumpin' into limbo and I like it
You got me runnin' for cover
Runnin' from bein' me
You got me runnin' for cover
For cryin' out loud
