She's a long way from St. Pete

And she's checking all the car doors

Lying through her teeth she's raised on the nations floor

And it won't back down

And it won't back down

Haunted as she is sweet

80 proof holy water

Where angels and devils meet

Never know who's on her shoulder

She'll run you a ground

She'll run you a ground

Can't give life a second look

When you're haunted by desire

Life's a gamble or nothing at all

Hate to lose when ya try

Obsessions ain't ever satisfied

Ain't no gold in these hills

Ain't no rival to the pain

'Cept a fistful of these pills

'Til it ends up in your veins

And it won't back down

It won't back down

Can't give life a second look

When you're haunted by desire

Life's a gamble or nothing at all

Hate to lose when ya try

Obsessions ain't ever satisfied

Obsessions ain't ever satisfied
