The Cruellest Cut

I know the penny will drop
 The mask will slip
 The music will stop
 There are tears on the microphone
 I'm so afraid
 If I get found out
 Do I still get paid
 I walk the line
 On the great divide
 Between selling my soul
 And losing my pride
 And I got wounds that never will heal
 Cos the cruellest cuts
 You never even feel
 I'm circling round the drain
 I'm circling round the room
 I never mind the pain
 Yes but I just can't seem to close these wounds
 Ooo baby it's the cruellest cut
 You only want what you ain't got
 You say you're happy
 But I know you're not
 Ooo baby it's the cruellest cut
 Yeh well I'm walking with the dickswagger
 Back to the car
 That's how I'm living honey
 Behind the bar
 And I got a woman
 She's a rare wildflower
 Blooms by night
 Paid by the hour
 I crush a Vicodin
 Into my Sprite
 One more show
 And then I'm off for the night
 But sometimes I just lie here
 Screaming in the dark
 The cruellest cuts
 Never leave a mark
 Don't tell me you feel free
 I see it in your eyes
 You don't think much of me
 To think I'd
 Really fall for your disguise
 Ooo baby it's the cruellest cut
 You only want
 What you ain't got
 You say you're happy
 But I know you're not
 Ooo baby ooo it's the cruellest cut uhuh
 You see me in the lights
 Up on the stage
 Blinded by emptiness
 And hollowed by rage
 Crippled by the company
 That I keep
 The cruellest cuts
 They run so deep
 Well should I let it all out
 Or keep it inside
 That's either murder
 Or suicide
 I thought I was an outlaw
 But I'm not
 Oo babe
 Ain't that the cruellest cut
 Oo baby it's the cruellest cut
 My face is numb
 My nerves are shot
 There ain't a name
 For the sickness I got
 Oo baby oo it's the cruellest cut uhuh
 It's the cruellest cut alright
 It's the cruellest cut uhuh
 Oo baby oo
 It's the cruellest cut
 Baby it's the highway fever
 It's the lonely waiting
 It's the payphone to nowhere
 It's the white-line fever
 Cruellest cut
 Cruellest cut
