How am l ever gonna get my head screwed back on? You chewed me up and spit me up and left me here all alone Beat me up Broke me down Pieces of me scattered all around I’m black and blue Black and blue How did I ever wind up here in a smokey hotel? Me, I’m blinking through the curtains and I’m hurting like hell I see the streets I smell the rain But I don’t fell a goddam thing but pain I’m black and blue Black and blue And I close my eyes and I see you standing there And I reach for you but you vanish in thin air Couldn’t take the time to say goodbye Ripped out my heart and left me here to die I’m black and blue Black and blue So here I am starting down at the cold city lights Just another pair of eyes in the darkness tonight You took everything that I had to give You even took away my will to live I’m black and blue Black and blue
