Comfort Blues

If I confessed to you my addictions
Would you come get sick with me?
Would you take my sense of ridicule?
In exchange would you make me breath?
And in the rare moments I'm not drowsy
Would you waste your time with me?

And now I'm more bitter than ever - I know, I know
And now you're better than ever - oh no, oh no

If my baby hits me
If my baby cheats on me
If my baby leaves me
I got my blues to comfort me
If my baby hurts me
If my baby dumps me
If my baby fools me
I got my blues to comfort me

And while I'm down, go ahead and spit on me
And then I'll drown in my own shit

Well, if she don't need me
And never miss me
Would you believe
That my blues will comfort me?
And if she doesn't want me
But never sets me free
Guess who's there for me
My blues that comfort me

And all of a sudden my kisses taste like dirt
And the fire that heats you will have me burned

And now I'm more bitter than ever - I know, I know
And now you're better than ever - oh no, oh no
I'll tell the world that I'm alive and then deny it all

If my baby kicks me
If my baby laughs at me
Don't you pity me
My blues will comfort me

And all of a sudden my kisses taste like dirt
And the fire that heats you will have me burned
And the love that feeds you will bring me down
So is the love that kills me feeding you now?

And now I'm more bitter than ever - I know, I know
And now you're better than ever - oh no, oh no
I'll tell the world that I'm alive and then I will deny it all

Shake!
