I woke up in the city
With the bitter taste of lime
I was dancing in the shadows
And drinking overtime
She was standing in a doorway
On the other side of town
First you love her
Then you lay your money down
Well the water tastes like whiskey
The streets are so unkind
It's the neon lights that blind me
And cause me to unwind
When you wake up in the gutter
Just deciding what to do
What's the last thing you remember…faded blue
CHORUS
I'm sure I met the devil
And held the thin white line
Just drowning in December all the time
Of the faces that he gave me
Only one of them was mine
Just drowning in December all the time
There's a sign on every corner
A scheme on every mind
You go wading through the water
Steppin' heavy all the time
And she's as sweet as honey
Her incense is divine
But you're runnin' into trouble…everytime
REPEAT CHORUS
