Beggars & Hangers-On

Well I know you couldn't love me

'Cause you're promised to a wealthy man

Take a look, what are you seein'?

Is that noose or a wedding band

Should I go to see a healer

Nervous twitchin' in my hands

Oh

Nervous twitchin' in my head

God help me rid this feelin'

'Cause I'm fallin' all to pieces

And I can't get out of bed

Beggars and hangers-on try to

Take you from me

Someone with a bible in his pocket

Cloudin' everything you see

Beggars and hangers-on they

Chip it away

Bury your soul in the river

'Cause the end is here to stay

God help me rid this feelin'

'Cause I'm fallin' all to pieces

And I can't get out of bed

I was wrong, I don't need you

It seems reckless and unfair

Better days are far behind me

Guess that's another cross

I'll have to bear

I know that there's a time and a reason

To take the ghost and lock it up inside

And maybe I am down but I'm not beaten

Like anything, we were born to die

Beggars and hangers-on try to

Take you from me

Someone with a bible in his pocket

Cloudin' everything you see

Beggars and hangers-on they

Chip it away

Bury your soul in the river

'Cause the end is here to stay

Beggars and hangers-on

Beggars and hangers-on

No no no-oh

No na-na-no-oh

No no no, no no no

No no no, no no no

No no no, no no no

No no-no no
