People Might Scream - Everything Will Not Be Alright Lyrics

The withdrawal symptoms started before you left the driveway today
And I know your right in your reasons for walking away
You put me under your spell and I could not refrain
From getting so hooked on you now comes the start of the pain

Now I know that your going
The hope starts to fade from my Eyes
And I'm back to just knowing
That everything... will not be alright
Will not be alright
Will not be alright

Now I've opened the whiskey, the bourbon, and some old Tanqueray
I'm hopped up on more pills than an old man on his dying day
But I've got this old guitar and I'm playing these old blues away
And I'm coming up short on the reasons to get you to stay

Now I know that your going
The hope starts to fade from my Eyes
And I'm back to just knowing
That everything... will not be alright
Will not be alright
Will not be alright
