Whole World on my Shoulders
I remember when Elsie was born, she picked my pocket with her heart of gold
The Capricorn Sun looked so divine
When our Frankie arrived I was right by his side, held his hand for his first eyes
The thunder boomed high in the Summer skies
Last night I went home to my floor
I’m living in a world where I can’t sleep no more
In a world where I can’t hide and a love that I can’t feel
Got the whole of the world on my shoulders
And my life’s in a flame and I’m burning with pain
Got the wholе of the world on my shoulders again
Every night harassеd on the phone, debt collectors telling me that I’m bleeding
As I dance around his sword I hope he’s a Christian with an ounce of feeling
But I sense his nasty tone as he tells me I’m dying on my own debt ceiling
Snowdrops growing in the wild fire as I wait for my breakthrough eyes
Got the whole world on my shoulders
I have to be satisfied laying in the cold in the full moon light
Got the whole world on my shoulders
Won't be long til the Springtime, I just have to keep my fire high
Got the whole world on my shoulders
The whole world on my shoulders again
