Album: Thirsty Work (1994)

Sherri Don't Fail Me Now!

Got a mess in my back yard, gonna clean it all up
It's time for doing things backwards, start strutting my stuff
Oh now the time has come to change
Strawberry fields, kicking my heels
Losing my place and forgetting my name

There's a cupboard in my room, got a skeleton key
Gonna crack it wide open, stop 'em following me
Oh now it's time to change it all
The ghosts are there, I'm tearing my hair
Chewing my nails and I'm climbing the wall

But it's all right, if I've got a problem you've got all the answers
Stay this night, I'll make it up to you in some way, somehow
Oh but Sherri, don't fail me now

Gonna get a black spotlight, gonna stage a new plan
Gonna wash away the blood stains, start scrubbing my hands
Oh no, but here it comes again
The dirty sea is swallowing me
I'm fighting for air and the danger expands

But it's all right, if I've got a problem you've got all the answers
Stay this night, I'll make it up to you in some way, somehow
Oh but Sherri, don't fail me now

But it's all right, if I've got a problem you've got all the answers
Stay this night, I'll make it up to you in some way, somehow
Oh but Sherri, don't fail me
Make it all right, if I've got a problem you've got all the answers
Stay this night, I'll make it up to you in some way, somehow
Oh but Sherri, don't fail me now
Oh but Sherri, don't fail me now
