life loves a tragedy - Poison

Of all the words that I've spoken
And lies that I've told
Of all the hearts left broken
Begged for, bought, and sold
Lord I'm feeling lonely
Feel like I can't go on
The streets have all grown cold now
The mysteries all gone
She's all gone
She's all gone, gone, gone
All gone now
She's all...
Well I ain't getting any younger
Can't you see it in my eyes
She sweet has turned to sour
I think it's time for me to fly
Well my vices have turned to habits
And my habits have turned to stone
The lies chipped away at my smile now baby
While the truth ate me down to the bone
One more step and I swear
I'll be over the edge
I've gotta stop living at a pace that kills
Before I wake up dead
Chorus:
Good times, bad times
How life loves a tragedy
Heartbreaks, heartaches
How life loves a tragedy
The nights I spent in danger
With strangers I thought were friends
Only to wake in anger
For some pleasure they swore they'd send
I think it's time I move on
Like a rolling stone
Cause I got all the broken dreams I can buy
It's time to sell the ones I stole
Chorus
Well I paid the price
For every thrill I got
Those thrills are all long gone baby
But I'm still paying for them like it or not
Solo
I think it's time I move on like a rolling stone
Cause I got all the broken dreams I can buy
It's time to sell the ones I stole
Chorus

Poor Boy Blues
My daddy said
"Son, don't you come to me cryin'
Cause money don't make you a happy man"
He said the grass is always greener
Any place except where you stand
He said some are born to win
And some born to lose
And sing them poor boy blues
Watch out
I've lived uptown, downtown
Lord I've lived everywhere
Almost drowned in the puddle of my own sweat I swear
I believe it's due time I get my mansion in ole Bel Air
Chorus:
But I'm still singin' those poor boy blues
Poor boy blues
You don't know how I'm feeling baby
Until you're wearing my shoes
Sure as I'm standing here
I got them poor boy blues
Friday night I get tanked up
And tossed in the local slam
At least I get three square meals
Until someone gets me out of this jam
In the meanwhile all my green
Is going to Uncle Sam
Chorus:
Walk this dog
Solo
Chorus
