BORN TO CRY


WORDS & MUSIC: HANK “HOLY ROLLER” RAY
EDITION JUMAR MUSIC, 1987


I lead a life all filled with pain…tombstone love in the pouring rain

 

All I do is dream and sigh …baby, baby, baby…I’m born to cry
I’m born…oh, well, I’m born…yeah, yeah, I’m born…baby, born to cry

 

Leather clothes and dark make-up…long black hair that’s all fixed up

 

My daddy thinks that I’m a whore…but I’m a graveyard kitty…nothing more
I’m born…oh, well, I’m born…yeah, yeah, I’m born…baby, born to cry

 

I feel depressed I feel so bad…the lowest feeling I’ve ever had

 

But contemplation may help to find the meaning of my run-down life
I’m born…yeah, yeah, I’m born…oh, oh, I’m born…baby, born to cry, cry, cry, cry
I’m born…oh, baby, I’m born…yeah, yeah, I’m born…baby, born to cry

 

I wear a necklace made of bone…sit alone in my darkened room

 

What went wrong I can not say but it’s not my fault I was born that way
I’m born…oh, yeah, I’m born…yeah, yeah, I’m born…baby, born to cry

 

I spent my holidays on Mars…just found out I can’t get far

 

Mists of tears before my eyes…baby, baby, baby, I’m born to cry
I’m born…oh, yeah, I’m born…yeah, yeah, I’m born…baby, born to cry, cry, cry, cry
I’m born…oh, yeah, I’m born…yeah, yeah, I’m born…baby, born to cry, cry, cry, cry
I’m born…oh, yeah, I’m born…yeah, yeah, I’m born…baby, born to cry, cry, cry, cry
I’m born…oh, yeah, I’m born…baby, baby, baby, baby, I’m born…baby, born to cry
