John Sweeney - Teenage Madman Lyrics

Teenage Madman, drinking wine in the woods
Teenage Madman, forgetting all that's good, good
Teenage Madman, all hopped up again
Teenage Madman, thinks this is the end

You can call me Patient Jack
That's what they called me when I checked in
Bound with locks all up my back
This shit has left me all wild and thin
Here I am to turn the tide
Life is a ride and I got to get off
There's nowhere left you can hide
Not enough pills left to cure my cough

Teenage Madman, drinking wine in the woods
Teenage Madman, forgotten all he could, could
Teenage Madman, all hopped up again
Teenage Madman, knows this is the end

Who would fall for Patient Jack
I'm too far gone to be saved this time
Making up for what I lack
Resorting to some cheap sex and crime
Now it all has been destroyed
No reason left for me to call your bluff
I'm staring into the void
Sure hope this rope is strong enough

Teenage Madman, standing up on a chair
Teenage Madman, makes one last somber prayer, prayer
Teenage Madman, hears the angels sing
But then he stops, he hears his phone ring

Don't you know how much we care
Running our hands through your hair
Please listen to what we say
There's always another way
Oh Patient Jack, we have your back
They call you patient cause you
Always shine through, you can escape this fate
Cause you choose to wait

So can you, just can you wait a bit longer
Surely you'll, by then you'll be a bit stronger
Nobody, as you see can be forced to stay
Keep your stance, take a chance on another day

One more try for Patient Jack
Times can not always be so great
Making up for what I lack
Not giving up and choosing to wait
