Ashes By Now

[Verse 1]
This morning is Monday, where are you now?
Teasing my memory, teaching me how
To lay low when I don't want to

[Verse 2]
Well love is elusive, this I know now
It's making me crazy, leaving me out
In the open when I don't want to

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
The moments of pleasures never do last
They're gone like a suitcase full of your past
Long gone and in a hurry

[Chorus]
Baby, I can't go through this again
I don't need to go down more then I've already been
Just like a wild fire, you're running all over town
As much as you burn me, baby, I should be ashes by now

[Verse 4]
The Second Street beggars alone in their life
Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night
Like I am, they're just like I am

[Chorus]
Baby, I can't go through this again
I don't need to go down more then I've already been
Just like a wild fire, you're running all over town
As much as you burn me, baby, I should be ashes by now

[Outro]
Just like a wild fire, you're running all over town
As much as you burn me, baby, I should be ashes by now
Ah, ah ah ah ah
Ah, ah ah ah ah, I should be ashes by now
Ah, ah ah ah ah
