Mike Gunther - Every Night lyrics

Every nights a ball and chain Without further growth or blooming Every nights an open vein A tourniquet to show I'm feeling And every nights a vanquished mile a race that's run but never winning Oh every nights a crooked smile to keep the chorus girls from singing Oh every nights a ball and chain What a crooked cross to bear Too many idle cries to help me For the wicked they can stare and every ba*tard I've admired and everyone that left me standing Oh all my empathies retire for every nights a ball and chain I'll count the cards to wax the earth The orphan says to me behave son This funnel is my lesson learned for every nights a ball and chain Oh every nights a ball and chain What a crooked cross to bear Too many idle cries to help me For the wicked they can stare Hand me the shotgun from the stairs and the 12 shells on the window all the apostles are in style for every nights a ball and chain Oh every nights a ball and chain What a crooked cross to bear Too many idle cries to help me For the wicked they can stare Oh every nights a ball and chain What a crooked cross to bear Too many idle cries to help me For the wicked they can stare and every ba*tard I've admired and everyone that left me standing Oh all my empathies retire for every nights a ball and chain
