wide awake like snakes in a panic
never woke up alone ever before
had his woman long as he can remember
his to forget, but he can't, he can't
out of bed and he dreams in the shower
she's standing naked, he's apologizing
reaches for her and the water turns red, got
woken up to be burned, burned, 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 a-walkin', 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 as he can remember
sears to forget, but he can't, he can't
