Painkiller Lyrics by Backyard Babies

Painkiller Lyrics

    I see your phone's been cut off again
    Did you shoot all your troubles
    Up the vein
    Someone saw you
    Said you were deadly pale
    Another night in hell
    Another night in jail

    Looks like the chinaman's reelin' you in
    Looks like the horse is gonna win
    Looks like the monkeys
    Are holding on tight
    Say hello to darkness
    Goodbye light
    Painkiller

    And as obscurity beckons the call
    It seems oblivion
    Is the only thing to cushion your fall
    I believe that everything
    Is gonna be too late
    It all sinks along
    With the ship you chose to hate

    Looks like the chinaman's reelin' you in
    Looks like the horse is gonna win
    Looks like the monkeys
    Are holding on tight
    Say hello to darkness
    Goodbye light
    Painkiller

    Now you sold all your possessions
    And not only your own
    There's miles to go yet
    But you're at the end of your road
    So you finally surrended
    To the endless sleep
    Found dead next mornin'
    With your life at your feet

    Looks like the chinaman's reelin' you in
    Looks like the horse is gonna win
    Looks like the monkeys
    Are holding on tight
    Say hello to darkness

    Looks like the chinaman's reelin' you in
    Looks like the horse is gonna win
    Looks like the monkeys
    Are holding on tight
    Say hello to darkness
    Goodbye light
    Painkiller


    Sail into the darkness goodbye light
    Say hello to darkness
    Goodbye light
    Say hello
    Goodbye
