Maniac Blues

Got a maniac on my trail

I’d kill him if I could

He watches me with killer eyes

his hands are in my blood

He’s a giant indestructible monster

I can feel his breath on me

I can shoot him down a million times

But he’s never gonna set me free



I’m weighted down beside him

He swims the ocean with me

We’re brothers in our purpose

and hated enemies

I was born to serve him

He makes my dreams come true

He’s my father and my mother

I’m in love and I am doomed.



Got a maniac in my bed.

His hate is in my dreams

I’m too tired of fighting

Too tired to go to sleep

I cut my throat on his edges

and I bleed from his wounds

If I’m running forever

I’m not running soon
