| Sister can you hear me now |
| Ringing in your ears |
| I'm down on the ground |
| My luck's been tried for years |
| I'm lost in the dark |
| And I feel like a dinosaur |
| Broken face and broken hands |
| I'm a broken man |
| CHORUS |
| I've hit the wall |
| I'm about to fall |
| But I'm closing in on it |
| I feel so weak |
| On a losing streak |
| Watch my taillights fade to black |
| VERSE |
| I read a thing about this girl |
| She was a hermit in her world |
| Her story was much like mine |
| She could be my valentine |
| And although we've never met |
| I won't forget her yet |
| She cut herself off from her past |
| She's alone at last |
| CHORUS |
| I feel so sick |
| Lost love's last fix |
| But I'm closing down on it |
| I feel so weak |
| On a losing streak |
| Watch my taillights fade to black |
| VERSE |
| Lost my life in cheap wine |
| Now it's quiet time |
| And I can't dig no Jesus Christ |
| He could not help my faith |
| But I'm underneath a gun |
| I'm singing 'bout my past |
| Had myself a wonderful thing |
| But I could not make it last |
| CHORUS |
| I've hit the wall |
| I'm about to fall |
| But I'm closing in on it |
| I feel so small |
| Underneath it all |
| Watch my taillights fade to black |
| ..Watch my taillights fade |
| ..Watch my taillights fade |
| ..Watch my taillights fade |
