Never been this wasted

never felt so broken

you don’t wanna taste it

wish I’d never woken

never been this wasted

never felt so fucked

you don’t wanna taste it

wish I’d never woken

runnin’ like an ungreased engine

goin’ straight but sti, with tension

as if Colorado boulders

started falling on my shoulders

that man was stupid and he hung himself

another man was wise but he shot his head – real good

better way out then to rot in dread

he has been wasted, broken real good – real good

you play the game, you love the fame

you got to stop, you’ve got enough

the price is high, the fortune smiles

the double stake, the strife is vile,

you play the game, you love the fame

you got to stop, you’ve got enough

the price is high, the fortune smiles

the double stake, they say you gonna lose it.

like Ernest used to say:

those whose wit is strong and rife

become boozers every bit

helps them live a peaceful life

that man was stupid and he hung himself

another man was wise but he shot his head – real good

better way out then to rot in dread

he has been wasted, broken real good – real good

you play the game, you love the fame

you got to stop, you’ve got enough

the price is high, the fortune smiles

the double stake, the strife is vile,

you play the game, you love the fame

you got to stop, you’ve got enough

the price is high, the fortune smiles

the double stake...

another man was wise but he shot his head – real good

better way out then to rot in dread

he has been wasted, broken real good

you play the game, you love the fame

you got to stop, you’ve got enough

the price is high, the fortune smiles

the double stake, the strife is vile,

you play the game, you love the fame

you got to stop, you’ve got enough

the price is high, the fortune smiles

the double stake, they say gonna lose it.

you play the game, you love the fame

the price is high, the fortune smiles

you play the game, you love the fame

the price is high, the fortune smiles

the double stake, they say gonna lose it.^[1]
