[Verse 1]
There was a time I lived a life of
Women, song, and wine
Spent my nights in loving rooms where the
Ladies all were kind
Singing songs and spending all and
Being no one's slave
I still had style when the devil smiled and he
Took it all away
[Chorus]
Sheila, can you help me?
I cannot go no higher
Sheila, can you help me?
My head is all on fire
[Verse 2]
I laughed at all the truth I saw
In the life I had no more
For fame, she was a one night stand
And fortune but a who*e
In the good times we were riding high 'til the
Good times all were gone
I wasn't sure what the bad times were 'til the
Devil pushed me down
[Chorus]
Sheila, can you help me?
I cannot go no higher
Sheila, can you help me?
My head is all on fire
[Instrumental]
Now it's just a life of room to room where my
Lovers come no more
In the dream that I could beat the
Devil from my door
God, it gets so lonesome when the
Fire's in your veins
And all you got is one last shot to
Get it right again
[Chorus]
Sheila, can you help me?
I cannot go no higher
Sheila, can you help me?
My head is all on fire
[Instrumental]
