Lyrics

Down in the gutter
Where white eyes roar
A man seeks a lover
To keep behind doors
Lie in a bedroom
Want to make more
An ignorant human
Can't hear me call
Calling, calling, crazy tunes
Look all around you, your life is in ruins
A negative husband
No love for his wife
He lives in an army
To kill is his life
Along came a bullet
That shattered his head
He once was a father
But now he's just dead
Calling, calling, crazy tunes
Look all around you, your life is in ruins
A handsome young stallion
To make is no pain
Corrupt and deceitful
He feels no disdain
His mission is simple
To add to the score
Look through his reflection
Ah what could be more?
Calling, calling, crazy tunes
Look all around you, your life is in ruins
My body, my body
Has taken a shape
Dead with no friendship
I cannot relate
Blinded and deafened
They can't see my state
Inside is a kick
Can this be my fate?
Calling calling, crazy tunes
Look all around you, your life is in ruins
Life is in ruins, life is in ruins
Look all around you, your life is in ruins
Calling calling, crazy tunes
Look all around you, your life is in ruins
Life is in ruins, life is in ruins
Life is in ruins, life is in ruins
