Lyrics

There's no sin in this: getting dressed to kill, laughing down the sun like a jackal will
With his eyes ablaze and his lips apart he's gonna fill his cup with the love in your heart and drink it up til the morning starts
Circulate the red light vistas
Get the girls and get their sisters
Pinch em up and give em blisters
Kiss em fierce with all his might, forever

Bye bye to another life
Bye bye to another life
Bye bye to another life
Bye bye to another life

Standing on the verge of the edge of the ledge, waiting for me to fall, but then I got a call
It said "wait, hold up homie!
You must be trippin!
You can't be putting that simpin and whimpin up in your pippin!
You better stand tall, fool you was born to ball
Took a little fall and now you wanna end it all!
You've been chasing dreams like a hound dog on the hunt
Take your place in the front
Put your hand on the pump
And it's right in your grasp, man
I know they're laughing, but you'll be laughing later cuz time's are gonna get greater
You's a player, and when I say player I mean player cuz your daddy and your uncle was a player

Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry over you?

Put yourself in your position
You ain't wishin for no food and no warmth and no light, so you must be doing all right

But wait a minute!
Something's wrong
It's lunatic, it's mad, insane!
Busted like a water main
Indulgence in another vein

What they're saying round the neighborhood is what he's drinking's not aged in wood

He's filling out
He's all growed up
He's all blowed up
He's gotten fat
He's filling out
He's all growed up
He's all blowed up
He's gotten fat

Sure enough at the midnight lounge there's a dent in the seat where the vampire sat

Bye bye to another life
Bye bye to another life

Living dead is doing time, like drowning on the circle line

Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry over you?

Who's gonna cry over you?
Cry over you?
Tell me would they lie for you?
Die for you?
You're hoping that it's true for you do for you, fool
But who's gonna cry?
