Mott the Hoople - The Debt lyrics

rate me

(Ian Hunter)

There goes happiness

Down that street

Pick me up, put me down again

Just when I was on my feet

I get stoned every day

My best friend he gone and went away

It's her debt

And I've got to face it alone

Been a long long time now

Been a long time high

Making up promises that went wrong

I'm in the sky

In a ..(?)..not a trace

I see her all over my place

It's her debt

I've got to face it alone

And endlessly my trouble mine

Won't let go leave the past behind

It's a drag, so it seems

I must live my life in dreams

I must laugh while the other man wins

Guess it's the season

Brings a man down

All my fingers are stuck on my toes

And my feet are off the ground

Yesterday the world went away

I can't seem to find the strength to pray

It's her debt

I've got to face it alone

And endlessly my trouble mine

Won't let go leave the past behind

It's a drag, so it seems

I must live my life in dreams

I must laugh while the other man wins

Guess it's the season

Brings a man down

All my fingers are stuck on my toes

And my feet are off the ground

Yesterday the world went away

I can't seem to find the strength to pray

It's her debt

I've got to face it alone

It's her debt

I've got to face it alone
