Another song inspired by an Old Testament prophet, Ezekiel in this case...and by the fact that I had lost a lot of weight and literally had jeans falling off of my hips.
lyrics
WASTING
I got rings dropping off of my fingers
I got jeans falling off of my hips
I got a feeling that no longer lingers
When I remember the taste of your lips
I'm wasting
I'm wasting
I'm wasting away in my sin
I had champagne cocktails for breakfast
I had a steak any time that I pleased
I had a woman like a seven-course repast
But the meat of our love was diseased
I'm wasting
I'm wasting
I'm wasting away in my sin
I got ribs like a bas-relief sculpture
I'm the mayor of the Valley of Bones
I'm a high E steel-string vulture
Starving for a love that atones
I'm wasting
I'm wasting
I'm wasting away in my sin
I'm wasting
I'm wasting
I'm wasting away in my sin
