[Verse 1]
Oh we've done it now, what a tangled web we wove
Through the night
Wool all in her eyes
Shepards got a big surprise come daylight
And all the barnyard bigotry, all except you and me, for a while
In spite of our history, got lost in the periphery
And I fell for your desperate smile

[Chorus]
But you need me like you need another blackout
I need you like I need one more thing to lie about
It's all my fault somehow
Guess it doesn't matter now

[Verse 2]
You're above this town, if you'd only don the crown
They put you up on a Southside mural
Hope you gain the will
All it took was a handful of pills
And a postponed funeral
Don't remember all the things I said
Just the hospital bed
And the weight of it all
I felt all the blame
Mostly I felt ashamed
So sorry I didn't call
[Chorus]
But you need me like you need another blackout
I need you like I need one more thing to lie about
It's all my fault somehow
Guess it doesn't matter now

[Chorus]
But you need me like you need another blackout
I need you like I need one more thing to lie about
It's all my fault somehow
Guess it doesn't matter now
