Painkiller Songtext
von Backyard Babies

I see your phone′s been cut off again
Did you shoot all your troubles up the vein?
Someone saw you, said, you were deadly pale
Another night in hell, another night in jail

Looks like the Chinaman's reelin′ you in
Looks like the horse is gonna win
Looks like the monkeys are holding on tight
Say hello to darkness, goodbye light, painkiller

And as obscurity beckons the call, it seems oblivion
Is the only thing to cushion your fall
I believe that everything is gonna be too late
It all sinks along with the ship you chose to hate

Looks like the Chinaman's reelin' you in
Looks like the horse is gonna win
Looks like the monkeys are holding on tight
Say hello to darkness, goodbye light, painkiller


Now you sold all your possessions
And not only your own
There′s miles to go yet
But you′re at the end of your road

So you finally surrender
To the endless sleep
Found dead next mornin'
With your life at your feet

Looks like the Chinaman′s reelin' you in
Looks like the horse is gonna win
Looks like the monkeys
Are holding on tight, say hello to darkness

Looks like the Chinaman′s reelin' you in
Looks like the horse is gonna win
Looks like the monkeys are holding on tight
Say hello to darkness, goodbye light, painkiller

Sail into the darkness goodbye light
Say hello to darkness, goodbye light
Say hello, goodbye
