WRITER'S COMMENTS: This song is dedicated to Daniel Bull, a former bassist for the band, and an old friend of Fritz. Daniel has been diagnosed with several terminal illnesses, all of which he continues to beat into remission..
I've got 16 months till my contract runs out
i've got 3 opinions and there's no more doubt
i turned 28 and you know i'd be lying,
if I said I was through and I don't mind dying
i've got 16 months till I walk away
i wear 16 shades of dead man's gray
i would try some color on anyway
i wear 16 shades of gray
Well there's crime to spare down in new orleans
got my money picked by some black french harlot
made me steal a car just to prove my anger
made me so far gone, so far jaded
well there's times a-plenty in old chicago but
this weather killed me so i moved to austin
someone put some pain upon my back
i got caught trying to steal a few years back
well you get used to the needles and the pain
i've got more holes than the church has saints
i've got thin blood like cheap red paint
i've got more love than ten man's hate |
