Ashes By Now

[Verse 1]

This morning is Monday, where are you now?

Teasing my memory, teaching me how

To lay low when I don't want to

[Verse 2]

Well love is elusive, this I know now

It's making me crazy, leaving me out

In the open when I don't want to

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

The moments of pleasures never do last

They're gone like a suitcase full of your past

Long gone and in a hurry

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 4]

The Second Street beggars alone in their life

Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night

Like I am, they're just like I am

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

Just like a wild fire, you're running all over town

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

Ah, ah ah ah ah

Ah, ah ah ah ah, I should be ashes by now

Ah, ah ah ah ah
