Lyrics

This is the tale of Shaky Jake and the Bone Twist girl.
He sang the blues, but man she could rock his world.
Beneath those neon lights.. in a smoke filled bar
He needed more to hold than that old guitar.

CHORUS
He sang...
I've wasted years waiting on perfection
and now she's here, I'm cravin' her affection
but she don't love me, it's plain to see
"I can't be with her... but she's always with me"

A cruel twist of fate from the Bone Twist girl.
And on that stage... he'd would pour his heart out to her.

Night after night.. the crowds gathered 'round late.
Just to hear the sound of a true heartbreak.

He sang...
I've wasted years waiting on perfection
and now she's here, I'm cravin' her affection
but she don't love me, it's plain to see
"I can't be with her... but she's always with me"

BRIDGE
Oh god why can't I be with her? Can't you see?
Why show me this angel and make her fly away from me?

Night after night.. the crowds gathered 'round late.
Just to hear the sound of a true heartbreak.
He sang...
I've wasted years waiting on perfection
and now she's here, I'm cravin' her affection
but she don't love me, it's plain to see
"I can't be with her... but she's always with me"

Oh God why can't I be with her, Can't ya see
"I can't be with her... but she's always with me"
