Deadly Gentlemen - Bad Habit Blues lyrics
(G. Liszt, inspired by the Cocaine Habit Blues, public domain) Daylight in the downtown Feels so plain So Im going to find my gal She deals c**aine I buy from my baby Its becoming a habit Anytime you got it Ill be coming to grab it Im ready to get lifted into glory victorious Believe in heaven and those storied euphorias Give me the sinful life Where night be the day I want to go young Im thinking it might be the way Times are tough but they go on Im down now but I wont be so long Oh. No Out of the gate like a stallion at a racing track To the mountain to the valley and to space and back Ive got a one-way ticket And Im flying too quickly But its tough to kick it Its trying to trick me Meddling in my brain Playing a mind game It told me that it would k** me But it gave no timeframe So Im back Coming around the corner High on c**aine Loping and feeling no pain Times are tough but the burden light Times are tough but Im a bird in flight Im coming up and around the corner high Ive been up and Ive been down And a guys born to die But every time I cross that uptown boundary Some beat cop billy clubs Up and down pounding me If youre going to help me be real cautious Things I do make me feel nauseous I wake up in the day feeling broken and bad But theres bourbon in the bottle and the coke in the bag Times are tough but they go on Im down now but I wont be so long Times are tough but the burden light Times are tough but Im a bird in flight
