ain t that a shame

The Gaslight Anthem

Well, i'm turning in voices, i don't want them no' more
Took off, my baby, i'll be useless in the morning
My heart is all in tatters, i ain't nobody sane
Just trying not to call you, t-t-trying not to call you

When i learned the rules, out with the wolves
I'm vicious now honey, cool and unprincipled
With tears in my eyeballs, wine on my lips
Aha

All my love, my love is a plague
Ain't that a shame? Ain't that a shame?
Of all the winds and weeds(?), just the same
I can't feel the pain! Ain't that a shame?

Now somebody hit the lights, get some ropes and medicines
And think about the shoot-up and how it's gonna end
Last night i was freezin', tonight i'm soaking wet
Well, i must have had a fever, salivating in my bed

When i learned the rules, out with the wolves
I'm vicious now honey, dumb and insatiable
With tears in my eyeballs, your name on my lips
Aha

All my love, my love is a plague
Ain't that a shame? Ain't that a shame?
Of all the winds and weeds(?), just the same
I can't feel the pain! Ain't that a shame?

Oh, my love, she's a plague, ain't that a shame?
And you know you're gonna wait so long
Time slips away till you can't feel the kick
My, how it tames, i stood out on that phone
And waited in vain, blew back my baby

All my love, my love is a plague
Ain't that a shame? Ain't that a shame?
Of all the winds and weeds(?), just the same
I can't feel the pain! Ain't that a shame?
