Down And Out Lyrics & Chords By Greenland Whalefishers

I used be a free and a roving young lad
I used drink poison that messed up my head
And I'm down and out

And there was a girl with Greek ocean blue eyes
A dark queen from Hell in Heaven's disguise
I'm down and out

I woke up one morning, the angel was flown, flown, flown
Her body was cold, I knew I was all alone

I lost all my powers, sat down in the chair
My next snap shot, a fat cop that gripped my hair
Kicked me down and out

Lorelei, hear me calling
Hear me call out for you
Your body is dust, my memories are fading
But your eyes still look blue

Lorelei, how's your living?
Do the saints treat you well?
Do they lend you a hand, do they tell you good stories?
Or do they rot down in Hell?

I'll write you a song, a kind of letter from Hell
Thoughts from a moist and cold prison cell
I'm down and out

So I spend the nights and long sober days
Waiting, just waiting in so many ways
I'm down and out

Last night in a dream an angel came down from the sky
He acted like a stranger but honey I knew those eyes

I pick up a paper and then throw it away
The news make no sense, the same shit every day
I'm down and out

Lorelei, hear me calling
Hear me call out for you
Your body is dust, my memories are fading
But your eyes still look blue

Lorelei, I can feel you
Always somewhere around
The air's filled with hatred, your ghost tries to tell me
No one is safe in this town

Tomorrow comes the pardon, one battle is won
Tomorrow brings a new war, a hungry slow one
