I get up
And it's over
It's always over
It's raining and I'm burned
And it's late and you're gone
And I can barely remember
Anything I did or said
Or how I lost another week
There must be something going on...
A nagging sense of shame
I can't explain
An acrid taste of smoke and blood
And tears and drugs
And every inch of me is raw
And it's always fucking over
It's raining and I'm blind
And it's late and you're gone
I can't do this anymore
Keep getting there
It's over
It's always over
It's raining and I'm cracked
And it's late and you're out
And I can't quite remember
Anything I did or said
Or how I lost another year
There must be something coming down...
A sweetly sour unease
It's like a tease
A broken dream of guilt and fear
And spit and steel
And every piece of me in pain
And it's always fucking over
It's raining and it's cold
And it's late and you're out again
Run my head around it
Like I know I really miss her
"But I always want to do it now"
She told me in a whisper
I try so hard to place it
Wonder why I really feel it
When to send the pretty flowers
Maybe helps her to believe it
Run my tongue along it
Oh the taste is something sicker
"But you know you have to do it now"
She told me in a whisper
It only takes a second
But the second lasts forever
"Close your eyes
And let me take you down..."
And I get up
And it's over
It's always fucking over
It's raining and I'm wrecked
And it's late and you're...
No I can't remember
Anything I did or said
Or how I lost another life
I lost another life
I lost another life
I lost another life
Oh I can't do this anymore
No
I can't do this anymore
And it's over
It's always over
It's raining and I'm burned
And it's late and you're gone
And I can barely remember
Anything I did or said
Or how I lost another week
There must be something going on...
I can't explain
An acrid taste of smoke and blood
And tears and drugs
And every inch of me is raw
And it's always fucking over
It's raining and I'm blind
And it's late and you're gone
I can't do this anymore
It's over
It's always over
It's raining and I'm cracked
And it's late and you're out
And I can't quite remember
Anything I did or said
Or how I lost another year
There must be something coming down...
It's like a tease
A broken dream of guilt and fear
And spit and steel
And every piece of me in pain
And it's always fucking over
It's raining and it's cold
And it's late and you're out again
Like I know I really miss her
"But I always want to do it now"
She told me in a whisper
I try so hard to place it
Wonder why I really feel it
When to send the pretty flowers
Maybe helps her to believe it
Oh the taste is something sicker

And it's over
It's always fucking over
It's raining and I'm wrecked
And it's late and you're...
Anything I did or said
Or how I lost another life
I lost another life
I lost another life
I lost another life
I can't do this anymore

Not sure what's this song about, could be about drugs addiction?
To me, this song is about a girl who never spends enough time with her spouse/boyfriend, so he fills the void with drugs. Also, the boyfriend is suspicious of her cheating on him ("There must be something going on"). Great song, I didn't know that The Cure could do hard rock until I heard this.
So this is the song that used to be called Baby Rag Dog Book? It's very good.
I think it's about an addict hitting rock bottom.
just wondered if anyone knew why they changed the name, and why this song is still some times refered to as baby rag dog book? also i have seen it as baby rag dog rock. i saw them play this live in charlotte in 2008, and it blew the roof off ;] the whole show was incredible... but anyway, just wondered if anyone knew. thanks.
