(Repeat above for following verses)
Walk around in circles to pass away the time
I hear the bell tonin' and I see the mornin' light
Pour myself a drink, but I lost my appetite
I can't sleep at all, 'cause my dreams are all so bad
When I get to thinkin' it's about to drive me mad
See our love dyin' and my eyes begin to burn
My mind is so confused, I don't know which way to turn
