[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]
