Second Street Stranger - Life of Tragedy Lyrics

Our hero is doomed
What should he do
All his enemies
Try to make him bleed
A call to distress
To deal with the rest
Damn he has some grief
Trapped beyond belief

His body is broken
His mind is gone
His world is a living hell
He's pissing out blood
And his brain has begun to swell

Now the story unfolds
Our hero is beaten and old
Life of tragedy
Some weren't saved you see
An addiction to saving souls
Before he looks at his own
Dismantled, disfigured enough
It's time to hang it up

His body is broken
His mind is gone
His world is a living hell
He's pissing out blood
And his brain has begun to swell
Liquor and Vicodin
Like riding a bike again
The only way to kill the pain
Unfortunately it will
Lead him into his grave

Our hero is broken
He just wants a life of his own
Running these streets and protecting
Is all that he's known

A look into his past
The numbers he saved were vast
A time to let it be
Yourself, you'll need
The next time that you call
I'll be gone
Life of tragedy
Some weren't saved, you see

Why can't you save me again
(He tries, he tries, he fails again)
Night brings me trouble my friend
(He tries, he tries, he fails again)
Why can't you save me again
(He tries, he tries, he fails again)
Night brings me trouble my friend
(He dies)
