  07. Born To Fail (Dr. Henry ‘The Poofter’ Jekyll)

Friends are all turning against me,
old dogs and children as well
I can’t find the silver lining
and the bright side is darker than hell.

I tried my courage in battle,
but I ran like a chicken in pain
I was bashed on the head for deserting instead,
My day in the sun turned to rain.

He was born to fail, he just loses or gives up first
It won’t take long, ‘til things go wrong –
It won’t take long ‘til he makes things worse.

I had to start at the bottom,
there was nothing but heartache and pain.
The light at the end of the tunnel my friends
Was the light from the 2:19 train.

He was born to fail, he just loses or gives up first
It won’t take long, ‘til things go wrong –
It won’t take long ‘til he makes things worse.

I tried my hand with a lover,
I thought she’d be changing my world
but I found out at home when I got her alone,
she was a man dressed up as a girl!

He was born to fail, he just loses or gives up first
It won’t take long, ‘til things go wrong –
It won’t take long ‘til he makes things worse.

He’s a loser, he’s crying, always losing, soon be dying.
