Garbage

Version 2.0

Wicked Ways

I tried hard to mend my wicked ways

Acted like a lunatic for years

Lord knows I try to be good

I'd keep my promises if only I could

You count your blessings that I can't rely on you

And I tried

Clutch your pictures of the Pope

Pray to God for love and hope

Bring the Virgin home for luck

Bolt the door down, keep it shut

I've done things I never thought I'd do

Sure it helps to lose myself in you

A little time and I'll be all right

C'mon sugar let's go out tonight

Forgive your trespasses

And all that we've been through

And I tried

That sinking feeling

When you are leaving

All I believed in

Walks out my door

I tried hard to mend my wicked ways

The damage done and nothing left to save

And I tried

Clutch your pictures of the Pope

(just like I told you)

Pray to God for love and hope

(just like I warned you)

Bring the Virgin home for luck

(just like I told you)

Bolt the door down, keep it shut

(just like I warned you)
