Song View:
Mindless drifter on the road
Carry such an easy load
It's how you look, and how you feel
You must have a heart of steel
Why do I keep fuckin' up?
I can see you on a hill
Comatose but walking still
Curves beneath your flowing gown
Only I could bring you down
Why do I keep fuckin' up?
Dogs that lick and dogs that bite
Hounds that howl through the night
Broken leashes are all over the floor
Keys left hanging in a swinging door
Why do I keep fuckin' up?
Keep fuckin' up!
[alternate/additional opening verse from Sept 1989 Hit Factory session with Poncho, Charlie Drayton & Steve Jordan]
Big success shot full of holes
I wish I had a thousand souls
One you use and one to save
One to carry to my grave
