Blood 'n' Orchids (1996)
Blood 'n' Orchids
I'm teetering, I'm teetering, I'm on the edge
I've got stomach cramps, my head bangs
I wish that I was dead
Been shanghaied, I've had stage fright
Had to get drunk to get out of bed
Been bushwhacked, been high jacked
I think I'm going mad
I swapped stories with Achilles
When my thoughts had turned to death
I sang songs with sad monks
Hoping to forget
I've had pit falls and close calls
When my feet didn't touch the ground
I've been side tracked, had my head cracked
I think I'm going mad
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wasn't here
Said lord oh lord I wish I wish, I wasn't here
I'm confused or just used
Nothing new or improved
No fanfare or take care
Man I'm outta here
First verse again
I've sailed the world and I've kept my word
Signed in blood in vain
I've sailed the world and kept my word
And the only thing I've earned
To line my pockets, are blood 'n' orchids
Solo
x 2, out
I'm teetering, I'm teetering, I'm on the edge
I've got stomach cramps, my head bangs
I wish that I was dead
Been shanghaied, I've had stage fright
Had to get drunk to get out of bed
Been bushwhacked, been high jacked
I think I'm going mad
I swapped stories with Achilles
When my thoughts had turned to death
I sang songs with sad monks
Hoping to forget
I've had pit falls and close calls
When my feet didn't touch the ground
I've been side tracked, had my head cracked
I think I'm going mad
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wasn't here
Said lord oh lord I wish I wish, I wasn't here
I'm confused or just used
Nothing new or improved
No fanfare or take care
Man I'm outta here
First verse again
I've sailed the world and I've kept my word
Signed in blood in vain
I've sailed the world and kept my word
And the only thing I've earned
To line my pockets, are blood 'n' orchids
Solo
x 2, out
