Drunken Head Blues Lyrics - Waterboys

Well the bricks are piled on Main Street 

and the sun is turning brown 

Anybody with any sense 

has already left town 

The beast is hollering lonesome 

and the ghost of Rimbaud rides 

I've got a drunken head full of reasons why 

I've got a broken heart inside 

I can hear a dog someplace barking 

I hear the wind begin to moan 

At night I walk these rain splattered streets 

dead on my feet and all alone 

My dreams begin to crumble 

I can feel the downward slide 

I've got a drunken head full of reasons why 

I've got a broken heart inside

I have seen all of my dreams 

slipping away like sand 

Love has grown wings and left me 

flown right out of my hand 

Now I'm weary and bruised from singing the blues 

and my fortunes are down 

My face and my walk are known 

in every bar and dive in town 

You can ask me where am I going 

but I'll let your question ride 

I've got a drunken head full of reasons why 

I've got a broken heart inside 

Photos 

I've got a handful of mist 

I've got a barrel of it 

What do I do with it 

now I've got no place to run 

And I've got no place to hide 

all my trials, all my cares 

All my worries, all my pride 

all my sins, all my troubles 

They're being washed in by the tide 

And I wish, how I wish 

That I could get on that horse 

And ride and ride, ride and ride, ride and ride 

Onto the other side 

ride on to the other side 

ride on to the other side 

ride on to the other side 

ride on to the other side, the other side, the other side... 

Now I've got a pain in my soul 

and it's fifteen miles wide 

Now I've got a pain in my soul 

and it's fifteen miles wide 

Now I've got a pain in my soul 

and it's fifteen miles wide 

I've got a drunken head full of reasons why 

I've got a broken heart inside
