Testo Ain't that a shame The Gaslight Anthem

Ain't that a shame

Well, I'm tired of hearing voices, I don't wanna hear no more.
So call somebody, baby… I'll be useless in the morning.
My heart is all in tatters, I ain't nobody's saint.
I'm just trying not to call you, trying not to call you.

And I learned the rules out with the wolves.
I'm vicious now, honey, cruel and unprincipled.
With tears in my eyeballs, wine on my lips, uh huh.

And all my love, my love, is a plague.
Ain't that a shame? Ain't that a shame?
I throb and wince and weep, just the same…
I can't feel a thing; ain't that a shame?

Now somebody hit the lights, get the ropes and medicines
And think about it, sugar, and how it's gonna end.
Last night I was freezing, tonight I'm soaking wet.
Well, I must've had a fever, salivating in my bed.

And I learned the rules out with the wolves.
I'm vicious now, honey, dumb and insatiable.
With tears in my eyeballs, your name on my lips, uh huh.

And all my love, my love, is a plague.
Ain't that a shame? Ain't that a shame?
I throb and wince and weep, just the same…
I can't feel a thing; ain't that a shame?

And all my love, she's a plague… ain't that a shame?
And you know you're gonna wait so long, time slips away.
Till you can't feel the kick, my, how we've changed.
I stood on the platform, waiting in vain… blue light, my baby…

And all my love, my love is a plague.
Ain't that a shame, ain't that a shame?
Like poisonous fingers right in your veins,
Who do you love? Who do you blame?
Nobody knows what trouble I'm in.
Ain't that a shame, ain't it a shame?
My poisonous fingers inside your veins,
They gonna get you someday…
Now ain't that a shame?
