The night passed.
Sorrow drowned in my whiskey glass As I tried to forget.
The dawn came.
The light barged in to awake my shame. With a newborn regret.
I need a cigarrette
Chorus
Take a shower
Wash it all off
Got to get myself together cos this just cannot happen anymore
I gotta stop
I gotta clean up
I keep shooting my big mouth off
I can't let this happen anymore.
I'm toxic
Knock a coffee back for a caffeine kick
Can't open my eyes.
My hands twitch
Nicotine patch don't scratch the itch
But I'll make it this time
Gotta make it this time
Chorus
Take a shower
Wash it all off
Got to get myself together cos this just cannot happen anymore
I gotta stop
I gotta clean up
I keep shooting my big mouth off
I just can't let this happen anymore.
Bridge
I gotta find another way to escape
I keep putting my foot in my mouth like a 2 bit ape
I gotta find a better way to flick the switch
Than running round town like a clown turned lunatic.
Chorus
Take a shower
Wash it all off
Got to get myself together cos this just cannot happen anymore
I gotta stop
I gotta clean up
I keep shooting my big mouth off
I have been here many times before
And I have said this many times before
