I face the worst of both worlds in every place that I turn It's hard enough to find balance between When each side's destroying a part of me I need a way Need a way to snap this curse Cause I can't keep up Can't keep up when I'm in reverse I face the worst of both worlds in every place that I turn It's hard enough to find balance between When each side's destroying a part of me I fought to find a way To rid myself of the shame I never found a way To carry the blame I have been cursed I face the worst of both worlds in every place I turn Now all I need for me is a way to break this curse Worst of both worlds

I was runnin' thru the summer rain, Waiting for the evenin' train To kill that old familiar pain Weavin' thru my tangled brain When I tipped my bottle back and Smacked into a cop I didn't see That policeman said "Mister Cool, If you ain't drunk, then you're a fool" I said "If that's against the law, Then tell me why I never saw No man locked in this jail of yours Who wasn't just as low down poor as me?" And that was when someone turned out the lights Yes and I wound up in jail to spend the night And dream of all the wine and lonely girls In this best of all possible worlds Next mornin' I woke up feelin' like my head was really gone And like my thick old tongue was lickin' something sick and wrong I said "I'd sell my soul for something about as wet and cold as this old cell" That kindly jailer looked at me, all eaten up with sympathy Then poured himself another beer and came and whispered in my ear "If booze was just a dime a bottle boy, you couldn't even buy the smell" I said "I knew there was something I liked about this town" Oh but it takes more than that to bring me down 'Cause there's still a lot of wine and lonely girls In this best of all possible worlds Well they finally came and told me they was a gonna set me free And I'd be leavin' town if I knew what was good for me I said "It's nice to learn that everybody's so concerned about my health" But I won't be leavin' no more quicker than I can 'Cause I've enjoyed about as much of this as I can stand And I don't need this town of yours no more than I never needed nothin' else" 'Cause there's still a lot of drinks that I ain't drunk Yes and lots of pretty thoughts that I ain't thunk Oh yes there's still a lot of wine and lonely girls In this best of all possible worlds In this best of all possible worlds In this best of all possible worlds

I see a bad moon rising I see trouble on the way I see earthquakes and lightning I see bad times today Don't go around tonight 'Cause it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise I hear hurricanes blowing I know the end is coming soon I fear rivers overflowing I hear the voice of rage and ruin Don't go around tonight 'Cause it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise Hope you have got your things together Hope you are quite prepared to die Looks like we're in for nasty weather One eye is taken for an eye And don't go around tonight 'Cause it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise But don't go around tonight 'Cause it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise There's a bad moon on the rise It's on the rise
