Where Did I Go Wrong? - Acoustic Version

He promised me that I would be
The brightest star of every scene
Where did I go wrong?
Where did I go wrong?
In Poker Lane I saw my chance
Of flirting with a dead romance
His name Fortune & Fame
Envy my latest flame!
When I think of all those faces
So hungry for this wasted flesh
I long to be where cool strangers in the street
Stopped to catch their breath
For you may see me ugly now
But in Bondi I drew quite a crowd
Danced on bars & on movin' cars
'Til the cops did run me out
So hold your head up
You're laughin' now
Yet in time you'll draw quite a crowd
Because it's only a matter of time
Before you cross that fateful line
I PROMISE YOU IF I SURVIVE
TO SET YOU FREE I WILL OBLIGE
FOR NEVER DID I DREAM
OF SUCH AN UGLY SCHEME!
& IF BY CHANCE MY SOUL LIKE YOURS
IS TO BE DAMNED BEHIND LOCKED DOORS
THEN LIFE IS BUT A PAUSE
BETWEEN DEATH'S CHAMPING JAWS!
I can't take it anymore
I'M TELLIN' YOU THERE IS NO CHOICE
Promise me when darkness falls
BUT TO ANSWER TO HIS VOICE
So swear to me you will return
TO WHAT HORRORS NOW DO I BELONG?
To give back the life I learned to yearn
OH, WHERE DID I GO WRONG?
No, I don't hate you for it's plain to see
Happiness was not for you or me
Born to suffer, born to pay
For candid crimes denied today
So won't you help me make my way home?
WE ALL HAVE SORROWS OF OUR OWN
