Text: Marianne Faithfull. Blazing Away.

Soul searchin' down and out lookin' for a place to stay
A place with no commitment, a place with no involvement
I got one eye on insanity, the other on the wheel
One's turnin', one's burnin', blazin' away
One's turnin', one's burnin', blazin' away

Strange lookin' exile with a passion for the dangers
Eye for the wicked, a tongue for the nasty
I got one eye on insanity, the other on the wheel
One's turnin', one's burnin', blazin' away
One's turnin', one's burnin', blazin' away

What is the reason that things change?
What is the reason they can never stay the same?
What can I do? What can I do?
Feel it, release it, things change
Feel it, release it, things change
Feel it, release it, things change

What is the reason that things change?
What is the reason they can never stay the same?
What can I do? What can I do?
Feel it, release it, things change
Feel it, release it, things change
Feel it, release it, things change

So searchin' down and out lookin' for a place to stay
Place with no commitment, a place with no involvement
I got one eye on insanity, the other on the wheel
One's turnin', one's burnin', blazin' away
One's turnin', one's burnin', blazin' away
