Tired of Singing the Blues

[Trinity 1,219]

You know sometimes I think God's playing a little game with me

Looking down from Heaven, laughing, trying to see how much I can take

Because the way things go, it's like a joke

Nobody's had more shots at the moon and missed than me

 

It's like I got my life stuck, stuck on rewind

Tryin' to make something of myself, life's got something else in mind

I'm fighting a losing game and I'm biding my time

You won't be my man, do I understand?

 

No, stop

I don't wanna hear another word about your why not's, I bought

Your bullshit all before and now you're trying to sell me more, babe

 

A man who makes a beast out of himself got nothing to lose

Sold my soul long ago, nothing left to choose

I'm tired, tired of singing the blues

I'm tired, ah

 

I'm walking down the streets, you wouldn't know what I was thinking

It's just another white girl day, hey, ribbons in my hair and I am sinking down

A double life, a sordid past and I am drinking now

I want to be bad, you say you were glad to see me

 

Shut up

I don't wanna know another thing you think you know about me

I'm not who you think I am, smiling but I ain't happy

 

A man who makes a beast out of himself got nothing to lose

Sold my soul long ago, nothing I can choose

I'm tired, tired of singing the blues

I'm tired, ah

 

Oh, my [super God/soul forgot], I can't turn off

My mind is like a ticking time bomb

Trying to kill me from inside

Haunting me day and night

Is there no remedy for memory?

 

I've felt this way before, I've known the depths of utter desperation

My boyfriend says I'm like an old movie star, with loneliness as my occupation

I know that he's right, but I don't care tonight

I want to be bad, I want to be bad

 

I can't stop

I keep running 'round the same town, knocking you down

I'm fucked

How can I get out when there's no where to go for miles around?

 

A man who makes a beast out of himself got nothing to lose

Sold my soul long ago, nothing I can choose

I'm tired, tired of singing the blues

I'm tired, ah!

 

Ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah

[Sitar 22,172]

Shit, you beat me. I got this:

 

You know, sometimes I think God’s playing a little game with me

Looking down from Heaven, laughing, trying to see how much I can take

Because the way things go, it’s like a joke

Nobody’s had more shots than me, more missed than me

 

It’s like I got my life stuck, stuck on rewind

Tried to make something of myself, life’s got something else in mind

I’m fighting a losing game and I’m biding my time

You won’t be my man, do I understand?

 

No, stop!

I don’t wanna hear another word about you

Why not stop by?

You bullshit all before now you’re trying to sell me more, babe

 

A man who makes a beast out of himself got nothing to lose

Sold my soul long ago with nothing left to choose

I’m tired, tired of singing the blues

I’m tired

 

Walking down the streets you wouldn’t know what I was thinking

It’s just another white-girl day, hey, ribbons in my hair and I am sinking down

A double life, a sordid past, and I am drinking now

I want to be bad, you say you were glad to see me

 

Shut up!

I don’t wanna know another thing you think you know about me

I’m not who you think I am

Smiling but I ain’t happy

 

A man who makes a beast out of himself got nothing to lose

Sold my soul long ago with nothing I can choose

I’m tired, tired of singing the blues

I’m tired

 

??? super gone, I can’t turn off

My mind is like a ticking time-bomb

Trying to kill me from inside

Honey, and day and night

Is there no remedy for memory?

 

I’ve felt this way before, I’ve known the depths of ??? desperation

My boyfriend says I’m like an old movie star, with loneliness as my occupation

I know that he’s right but I don’t care tonight

I want to be bad, I want to be bad

 

I can’t stop

I keep running ‘round the same town, knocking you down

I’m fucked

How can I get out when there’s nowhere to go for miles around?

 

A man who makes a beast out of himself got nothing to lose

Sold my soul long ago with nothing left to choose

I’m tired, tired of singing the blues

I’m tired

[Adrift 4,776]

Oh, my super God.

I've known the depths of utter desperation.

 

"I don't wanna hear another word about your 'why not?'s. I bought, you pushed it all before and now you're trying to sell me more, babe."

[Trinity 1,219]

Oh, my super God.

I've known the depths of utter desperation.

 

"I don't wanna hear another word about your 'why not?'s. I bought, you pushed it all before and now you're trying to sell me more, babe."

That's it. Thanks! They're complete now.

[Sitar 22,172]

Oh, my super God.

I've known the depths of utter desperation.

 

"I don't wanna hear another word about your 'why not?'s. I bought, you pushed it all before and now you're trying to sell me more, babe."

 

Thanks! I still hear "bullshit", though, which also works. "I bought your bullshit all before."

[Guy 976]

fucking cute

[Trinity 1,219]

What about that "nobody's had more shots" line? What do you guys hear?

[James19709 632]

 

You know sometimes I think God's playing a little game with me

Looking down from Heaven, laughing, trying to see how much I can take

Because the way things go, it's like a joke

Nobody's had more shots at the moon that missed than me

 

It's like I got my life stuck, stuck on rewind

Tryin' to make something of myself, life's got something else in mind

I'm fighting a losing game and I'm biting my tongue

You won't be my man, do I understand?

 

No, stop

I don't wanna hear another word about your why not's I bought

You pushed it all before and now you're trying to sell me more, babe

 

A man who makes a beast out of himself got nothing to lose

I'm tired, tired of singing the blues

I'm tired, ah

 

I'm walking down the streets, you wouldn't know what I was thinking

It's just another white girl day, hey, ribbons in my hair and I am sinking down

A double life, a sorted past and I am drinking now

I want to be bad, you say you were glad to see me

 

Shut up

I don't wanna know another thing you think you know about me

I'm not who you think I am, smiling but I ain't happy

I'm tired, tired of singing the blues

I'm tired, ah

 

Oh, my super God, I can't turn off

My mind is like a ticking time bomb

Trying to kill me from inside

Hunting me day and night

Is there no remedy for memory?

 

I've felt this way before, I've known the depths of utter desperation

My boyfriend says I'm like an old movie star, with loneliness as my occupation

I know that he's right, but I don't care tonight

I want to be bad, I want to be bad

Ah, ah, ah

I think she says haunting rather than hunting and the second one is just a mistake.

What about that "nobody's had more shots" line? What do you guys hear?

 

"Nobody's had more shots at the moon and missed than me".

[Trinity 1,219]

"Nobody's had more shots at the moon and missed than me".

Thank you! It's definitely haunting, I was just taking that line from the leak blog and I didn't even realize that mistake And yeah, I thought it was "at the moon" but I wasn't sure!

Dark Paradise's predecessor? The question it answers?

I can't deal right now with how verklempt I am. This song is just...

[naachoboy 7,977]

[NamiraWilhelm 5,031]

I knew I'd love this song! The rest that leaked... well, this is the diamond in the rough

These lyrics are everything

[Madrigal 2,612]

Guys, this and "I'm Fucked" must be the same song...same tracklength, etc.

[James19709 632]

I'm walking down the streets, you wouldn't know what I was thinking

It's just another white girl day, hey, ribbons in my hair and I am sinking down

A double life, a sorted past and I am drinking now

I want to be bad, you say you were glad to see me

 

I think it's "A double life, a sordid past and I am drinking now".

[Trinity 1,219]

I think it's "A double life, a sordid past and I am drinking now".

Ah, okay. I've never even heard that word before but I looked it up and it makes a lot more sense than sorted! Thanks

[whitman 1,286]

I was so sad because I thought all those leaked songs so bad but then I listened to this and then....I regained faith in her again. One of her best songs
