Pools of pain surrounding me in shades of green   Rats and snakes they always try to get the best of me   But they won't, never know when the time is right to take the reins   Down the road they'll come to find out anyway but it's too late you know      We just like pretendin'   That they're everything they're not   I don't like it I, don't need it   I don't want it 'cause baby I'm through believin' it and I      Got no shame, well I got no one to blame   All the same, gonna taste the wine   'Cause it's right there in front of me      Walk the streets a carryin' in a, heavy load and   Hounds of love are comin' and so I take a left turn back down the right road   Sister sweet she told me 'bout it just can't seem to live without it   Black cat open my eyes forever baby don't you waste your time   I found shelter helter skelter back inside me, you won't find me      Got no shame, well I got no one to blame   Got no shame, all the stakes are high like no blue sky   It's all the same but you will never feel it      You know you just like pretendin'   That they're everything you're not   I don't like it, I don't need it   I won't take it at all      Got no shame, well I got no one to blame   Got no shame, all the stakes are high   Like no blue sky baby-honey      Got no shame, well I got no one to blame   All the same, gonna taste the wine   'Cause it's right there in front of me   You won't find me never get inside of me
