Snakepit - Beggars & Hangers-on lyrics

rate me

(Slash/Eric Dover/Duff McKagan)<br />

Well I know, you couldn¹t love me<br />

Cause you¹re promised to a wealthy man<br />

Take a look, what are you seein¹ ?<br />

Is that a noose or a wedding band<br />

Should I go to see a healer<br />

Nervous twitchin¹ in my hands<br />

Nervous twitchin¹ in my head<br />

God help me rid this feelin¹<br />

Cause I¹m fallin¹ all to pieces<br />

And I cna¹t get out of bed<br />

Beggars and hangers-on<br />

Try to take you from me<br />

Someone with a Bible in his pocket<br />

Clouding everything you see<br />

Beggars and hangers-on<br />

They chip it away<br />

Bury your soul in the river<br />

Cause the end is here to stay<br />

God help me rid this feelin¹<br />

Cause I¹m fallin¹ all to pieces<br />

And I can¹t get out of bed<br />

I was wrong<br />

I don¹t need you<br />

It seems reckless<br />

And unfair<br />

Better days<br />

Are far behind<br />

Guess that¹s another cross<br />

I¹ll have to bear<br />

I know that there¹s a time<br />

And a reason<br />

To take the ghost and lock it up inside<br />

And maybe I am down<br />

But I¹m not beaten<br />

Like anything<br />

We were born to die<br />

Beggars and hangers-on<br />

Try to take you from me<br />

Someone with a Bible in his pocket<br />

Clouding everything you see<br />

Beggars and hangers-on<br />

They chip it away<br />

Bury your soul in the river<br />

Cause the end is here to stay<br />

Beggars and hangers-on<br />

Beggars and hangers-on<br />

No no no no<br />

No no no no<br />

No no no no
