Eagle-Eye Cherry - Shooting Up In Vain Lyrics






Waking up as the sun goes down
Body all in pain
Straight out the door to the worst part of town
Shooting up in vain

Slips all his money to the man
Here we go again....here we go again
Got bags of mercy in the palm of his hand
Shooting up in vain

[CHORUS:]
So he heads for the closest rooftop
And now he's free with the skyline begind
But it won't be long until his high will drop
Then you know what he'll try to find
Such a shame

Now he's back on that hunt for more
Body all in pain
Wanting to get back to where he was before
Shooting up in vain
So now he goes and sells his wedding ring
Here we go again......here we go again
But now he's sold exactly everything
Shooting up in vain

[CHORUS]

Such a shame

Down to the bed as the sun goes up
Body all in pain
Now he swears he's going to stop
Shooting up in vain
He's Dr. Jekyll and he's Mr. Hyde
He's got to listen to that voice deep inside
Got a one-way ticket on a derailed train
Got a one-way ticket on a derailed train
Shooting up in vain
Such a shame
Such a shame

Got a one-way ticket on a derailed train

Got to stop shooting up in vain.............[REPEAT]

    I love this Song. Gold old Times. Missed it. :( in the Past All things Gold. Today bad

  2. H.... S....

    Great video. You really put me off with the obstructive labelling. Ruins your art. Pisses me off, too.

  3. L.... ....

    2k18 anyone?

  4. H.... G....

    Just because you shoot dope doesn't mean you don't do other things... It's a song about the struggle that despite what you do, it's all in vain... If you don't understand, than you don't understand.

    H.... G....

    They wouldn't understand unless they have been there I know and understand

    H.... G....

AND ANYONE WHO HAS CLEANED THERE LIVES UP.... either thfrom drink or drugs.....WELL DONE, keep the good work up..... it won't always be easy but it's worth it peeps XXXXX

    Why so many run-on sentences in the comments? Would it hurt to use some proper punctuation? Grammar skills in today's society are obviously declining. I don't know why it aggravates me, it just does. Oh well. I enjoyed the song. Sorry for being the grammar police. Hopefully nobody will take offense and just see my frame of reference as constructive criticism, rather than trolling. Peace be with everyone...

  8. T.... ....

    nice tune man was nice and easy made it better.

  9. i.... d....

    That video was never made for this song, the song's a classic,video's a joke.

  10. V.... G....

    Maybe this is a fucking tribute to some of those teens that were heroin addicts...and died,of course.

  11. S.... S....

    can someone please explain to me why a song about shooting heroin consisted of a video of a few teen/young adults drinking and smoking weed? good video, but seems to me that you could've had hada more on topic video for it...

  12. b.... ....

  13. T.... H....
