Albatross

You're just an albatross around my neck All you do, is you make me sick Push me closer on toward the cliff I might walk off if you ain't slick with it Just another joke and a line Another bartender keepin' me alive Oh, those keys don't feel so cold when they're wrapped around your neck, wrapped around your soul Just an albatross around my neck Like the chains that the constables sent Oh, just hang me down, heaven sent Just to prove that I'm not getting through to you Gotta keep me at the starting line Gotta keep me til the end of time Gotta keep me, broken hourglass Gotta keep me or you'll never last Go and blame me for all that's good Go and blame me for all that I should've Go and blame me for all my crimes And I'll hold them against you til the end of time You're just an albatross around my neck Holding me down, always making me sick So won't you let me breathe above the waves And send me on my seperate ways If you love me then set me free Cuz true love thist could never be Fightin' tooth and nail, ball and chain Oh! It'll never end up okay Dogs barking in the dead of night The wolf is howling his lonely cry You're always holding the rope so tight But dear god, let go and I might as well fly Away You're just an albatross to me To me You've become a ball and chain You're just an albatross to me
