Howling After

M. Wilson 1993 (St. Louis)

Between my eyes theres
Pounding pressure
Sunny days are the same as
Cloudy weather
Wonder when I'll get off this
Couch if ever
Staying drugged with dull pleasure
Always manage to f*ck it up whether
Its a little bit or altogether
What you thought was once was never
Such a strong f***ing four letter
Need to take this bond and sever
Just dont know how if ever
