Why Ain't I Bleeding

(album: Vicious Circle - 1994)

Sometimes I think it's all been a dream
The people I've met places I've seen
Lovers who've sailed through my arms and my bed
And footprints of angels where devils won't tread

And it really makes me smile when I turn back the years
And cherish the laughter, remember the tears
The man I am now is not the man I was then
As time goes by I'll tell you my friend

That I'm drunk right now and I need a cigarette
I wish I know some way to forget
If I'm bound for hell 'cause of the shape I'm in
I don't have regrets, I won't change a thing

Why ain't I bleeding?
'Cause I feel so much pain
Why ain't I bleeding?
Some things never change

Hard times and many a tear
I needed some shelter, needed my bed
Rats in the cellar screams in my head
I look in the mirror, I look like I'm dead

I was a king of the road, rhythm and blues
Starry-eyed losers drawn in tattoo's
And the man I am now is not the man I was then
As time goes by, I tell you my friend

That I'm drunk right now and I need a cigarette
I wish I know some way to forget
But if I'm bound for hell 'cause of the shape I'm in
I don't have regrets and I won't change a thing

Why ain't I bleeding?
'Cause I feel so much pain
Why ain't I bleeding?
Some things never change

Why ain't I bleeding?
Why ain't I bleeding?

And I'm drunk right now and I need a cigarette
I wish I know some way to forget
But if I'm bound for hell 'cause of the shape I'm in
I don't have regrets, I won't change a thing

Why ain't I bleeding?
'Cause I feel so much pain
Why ain't I bleeding?
Some things never change

Why ain't I bleeding?
Why ain't I bleeding?
Why ain't I bleeding?
Why ain't I bleeding?
