Because I can't take it alone, I can't take it alone A NC We started limping, caught the handicap shuttle to town And yelled "God's healed us" as we ran off, the bus the driver just, frowned By the way this girl was sexy and she wouldn't touch you That may not be true, but I said it so you'd feel involved with this song Are you an illusion, or am I just getting stoned? Because I can't take it alone, I can't take it alone A NC We caught a fey taxi driver, I smiled the ride was free I felt like Amsterdam, she want'd more drugs and maybe me I told her dealer I was broke, he hired a camera man We did a porno film for coke, I hear I'm big in Japan Are you an illusion, or am I just getting stoned? Because I can't take it alone, I can't take it alone A NC We went back to her kitchen, put the coke all in a can E NC A He started drinking coffee, too much sugar on the go He fell dead on the floor, he thought the coke was sweet'n'low Well are you an illusion, or am I just getting stoned? Bah bah bah bah-bah bah bah E (hold) A (hold) I'm blamed in the confusion, the po-lice being phoned I don't even love you, we weren't even friends It's just that I can't take it alone, Uh, huh, I can't take it alone I hope I didn't just give away the ending, I hope I didn't just give away the ending (3x) Aw Jesus, Ah shit!
