lyrics

Joanie said she was scared, I`m afraid
I`m the only bastard
on a street, rotten teeth, I`m a freak
on a Jesus birthday (I said)

What`s the price to pay? (I say)

No wonder I was wasting my time
away from your shadows, where the sun`s dead cold
Oh, it`s like that
As if you`re a ghost in the shadow, soaked in the mist
and there`s no God, there`s no Hope

Look at your pale white face
yeah, nothing feels like nothing and that ain`t no fun
When you`re wasting your time
chasing your shadow, soaked in the mist
and there`s no God, there`s no Hope

Joanie looks like she`s got what I wanted
and she feels damn good, I said
the more you get, the less you want it
while she`s staring at me with that face, singing
