Ain't No Way Around It lyrics

My money's gone, my tank is empty This dope-filled life has got the best of me Wait, this can't be right But it's all written in black and white I've been looking for the clown That's brought me up and dragged me down I've hocked my life and all my things For a beat up pair of broken wings That won't fly Ain't no way around it There ain't no way around it My crutch is gone, my baby left me I took what I had left to Tampa Bay Forget it, no I'll have my time Meanwhile I'm spaced out of my mind I've been looking for the clown That's brought me up and dragged me down I've hocked my life and all my things For a beat up pair of broken wings That won't fly Ain't no way around it There ain't no way around it My crutch is gone, my baby left me Everything that I own is in Tampa Bay Wait, this can't be right But it's all written in black and white
