My Dying Spirit

[00:03.62] I'm barely on my feet, mama
[00:07.47] Barely holding on by a thread
[00:12.02] Every night, I lose a different friend
[00:15.95]
[00:20.56] Thought I had it how I wanted
[00:24.10] I'm far away as I could ever dream
[00:28.47] I don't think California's my speed
[00:34.13] All on my own
[00:38.36] All I know
[00:41.26] If I'm high like those other guys you've kissed
[00:49.51] Maybe I'll find you in my bed again
[00:57.69] But I'm all alone, living on the edge
[01:05.93] I'm right at the limit, will I ever heal my dying spirit?, oh
[01:15.57]
[01:34.42] I'm hanging on needless hunger
[01:38.57] It keeps the tears out the devil's eyes
[01:42.62] I don't eat because he tells me that it's fine
[01:46.59]
[01:51.63] Barely even standing now
[01:55.74] Goddamn, I need another round
[01:59.63] I can hear my name out in the crowd, yeah, yeah
[02:05.79] If I'm high like those other guys you've kissed
[02:14.39] Maybe I'll find you in my bed again
[02:22.69] But I'm all alone living on the edge
[02:30.36] I'm right at the limit, will I ever heal my dying spirit?
[02:39.56] If I was a hotel lobby you'd be mighty fucking sorry
[02:43.93] To be staying at this piece of shit right off Highway nine
[02:48.14] I'm on the floor of my kitchen on a vaporizing mission
[02:53.14] To find a little calm, please ease my mind
[02:56.62] I'm so sorry, Alex, I won't make her graduation
[03:01.27] But tell this lonely girl she's the apple of my eye
[03:05.18] Tell her, "Take your time, take your time"
[03:10.10] "Take your, take your, take your time," I get high
[03:17.44] Yeah, oh, baby, yeah (oh), oh, oh
[03:29.00] Every night I'm hanging on by a thread, oh
[03:33.97] Yeah, oh, babe, yeah, oh, oh
[03:45.46] Yeah, yeah, yeah
[03:49.37] I'll never heal it, my dying spirit
[04:00.87]
