Tough Luck / Cryin' Shame

Well the bell of the hour’s
Dying from his
Blink of one eye and a tophat
Nothing ever spikes his horns
And his heels are on fire but he’s not to be admired
Or babied for the choices he made
with the breaking dawn
If you ever wondered how a man goes wrong
Watch and wait, baby, but it won’t take long
Split your head on the cold hard facts
Tough luck and cryin' shame
Tough luck and cryin' shame
Well he used to think that heaven was a place that he could get in
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
for a pitch-black hole
It’s shame
And he used to go runnin' for the things that he was gunnin'
Now all he ever does is waltz
Shuffle two feet to the same sad beat
Dancin' while the nightmare talks
If you ever wondered how a man goes wrong
Watch and wait, baby, but it won’t take long
Split your head on the cold hard facts
Tough luck and cryin' shame
Tough luck and cryin' shame
Sometimes the good you do isn’t good enough
And the bad is bad enough to drag you down
Time takes a twisted toll on everyone you’ll ever know
The only truth he’s ever found
If you ever wondered how a man goes wrong
Watch and wait, baby, but it won’t take long
Split your head on the cold hard facts
Tough luck and cryin' shame
Tough luck and cryin' shame
