Well I know
You couldn't love me
Cause you're promised to
A wealthy man
Take a look
what are you seeing?
Is that a noose or a wedding band
Should I go to see a healer
Nervous twitchin' in my hands
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 & hangers-on
Try to take you from me
Someone with a bible in his pocket
Clouding everything you see
Beggars & 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 & hangers-on
Try to take you from me
Someone with a Bible in his pocket
Clouding everything you see
Beggars & hangers-on
They chip it away
Bury your soul in the river
Cause the end is here to stay
 Beggars & hangers-on
Beggars & hangers-on
No no no no
No no no no
No no no no
