so when i’m lying in my bed
thoughts running through my head
and i feel that love is dead
i’m loving angels instead
and through it all she offers me protection
a lot of love and affection
whether i’m right or wrong
and down the waterfall
wherever it may take me
i know that life won’t break me
when I come to call she won’t forsake me
i’m loving angels instead
Yeah gonna tear it up
Gonna trash it up
Gonna round it up
Gonna shake it up
Oh no baby I will not lie down
Turn this thing around
I will not go quietly
I will not lie down
I will not go quietly
I will not lie down
I will not go quietly
I will not lie down
No I will not lie down
living on a shoestring, a fifty cent millionaire
open to charity, rock ‘n’ roll welfare
sitting in my cadillac, listening to my radio
suzy baby get on in, tell me where she wanna go
i’m living in a nightmare, she’s looking like a wet dream
i got myself a cadillac, but i can’t afford the gasoline
i got holes in my shoes, and i’m way overdue
down payment blues
ain’t got nobody (nobody), nobody (nobody)
nobody (nobody), nobody (nobody)
no one (no one), no one (no one)
loop-de-loop (loop-de-loop)
darling, darling (darling, darling)
getting serious (getting serious)
got to see the walls (got to see the walls)
over there (over there)
nobody (nobody), not no one (not no one)
nobody (nobody), nobody (nobody)
nobody (nobody), nobody (nobody)

nobody cares for me
I’ve been sittin’ here just wastin’ time
Drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind
I’ve been sittin’ here just wastin’ time
Drinking, smoking, trying to free my mind
Smokin’ and drinkin’
I’ve been sittin’ here just wastin’ time
Drinking, smoking, thinking, and trying to free my mind
Tryin’ to free my mind
I’ve been sittin’ here just wastin’ time
Drinking, smoking, trying to free my mind
Wastin’ my time
Hey I’m smokin’
Hey I’m drinkin’ tryin’ to free my mind
I’ve been sittin’ here just wastin’ time
Drinking, smoking, trying to free my mind
looking back to find my way never seemed so hard
yesterday’s been laid to rest changing of the guard
I would never change a thing even if I could
all the songs we used to sing everything was good
I remember watching you once upon a time
dancing from across the room in another life
You don’t wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki don’t lose that number
It’s the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home
well we fly by night, it’s like a rocket flight
and baby that’s just what it’s for
we fly by night, it makes you feel alright
you keep you coming back for more
