Lyrics

This morning is Monday Where are you now?

Teasin' my memory Teaching me how to lay low when I don't want to

Your love is elusive this I know now It's making me crazy Leaving me out

In the open When I don't want to

I don't know why you do that to me (really low, soft volumn) go to lead

The moments of pleasures Never do last

Are gone like a suitcase full of your past Long gone, and in a hurry

Baby, I can't go through this again

I don't need to go down More then I've already been

Just like a wild fire You're running all over town

As much as you burn me, baby I should be ashes by now

The second street beggars alone in they life

Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night

Like I am They're just like I am

Baby, I can't go through this again

I don't need to go down More then I've already been

Just like a wild fire You're running all over town

As much as you burn me, baby I should be ashes by now

Just like a wild fire You're running all over town

As much as you burn me, baby I should be ashes by now

Aaaaaahh Aaaaaahh Should be ashes by now
