Waterboys - Drunken Head Blues lyrics

Well the bricks are piled on main street

And the sun is turning brown

Anybody with any sense

Has already left town

The beast is hollering lonesome

And the ghost of rimbaud rides

I've got a drunken head full of reasons why

I've got a broken heart inside

I can hear a dog someplace barking

I hear the wind begin to moan

At night I walk these rain splattered streets

Dead on my feet and all alone

My dreams begin to crumble

I can feel the downward slide

I've got a drunken head full of reasons why

I've got a broken heart inside

I have seen all of my dreams

Slipping away like sand

Love has grown wings and left me

Flown right out of my hand

Now I'm weary and bruised from singing the blues

And my fortunes are down

My face and my walk are known

In every bar and dive in town

You can ask me where am I going

But I'll let your question ride

I've got a drunken head full of reasons why

I've got a broken heart inside

I've got a handful of mist

I've got a barrel of it

What do I do with it

Now I've got no place to run

And I've got no place to hide

All my trialsall my cares

All my worriesall my pride

All my sinsall my troubles

They're being washed in by the tide

And I wishhow I wish

That I could get on that horse

And ride and rideride and rideride and ride

Onto the other side

Ride on to the other side

Ride on to the other side

Ride on to the other side

Ride on to the other sidethe other sidethe other side...

Now I've got a pain in my soul

And it's fifteen miles wide

Now I've got a pain in my soul

And it's fifteen miles wide

Now I've got a pain in my soul

And it's fifteen miles wide

I've got a drunken head full of reasons why

I've got a broken heart inside
