Wide awake like snakes in a panic,
Never woke up alone ever before.
Had a woman long as he can
remember,
Tries to forget, but he can't, he can't.
Out of bed and he dreams in the shower,
She's standin' naked, he's apologising.
Reaches for her
and the water turns red hot.
Won't be long till he burns, burns, again.
Go it alone,
You got it, so it goes.
Got his knees to his face,
He can't take it any other way.
On the streets he's walking wounded,
Having nothing, he's got nothing to say,
Thoughts of suicide and alleviation.
Anything to get his heart off of the coals.
Go it alone,
You got it, so it goes.
Got his knees to his face,
He can't take it for another day,
Yeah yeah…
Wide awake and he shakes in a panic,
Never woke up alone ever before.
Had his woman long has he can remember.
It's his to forget, but he can't, he can't.
