"Bad Things" Lyrics

You know I was standing by the river watching my bridge burn down
I was standing by the river watching my bridge burn down
Cause I done a bad thing and I'm paying it for all right now
Well I've done a bad thing and I'm paying it for all right now

Hey there doctor
Tell me what do you see?
Cause I got a bad disease
And I'm in need of your remedy
And I've been aching from my head to my toes
I've been aching so much that I just don't ache no more
But there is a one thing that I need you to see
You ain't never met a man sick as me

Hey mister bartender
You see my trembling hands
Oh, you know I need a drink and I need it so bad
Cause I don't know
Lordy what I've just done
But you've got me burning like a fox child rebel under the sun
And now I'm shaking from all my misery
Cause you ain't never met a man as wrong as me

And no no no I dont lie
Cause I was taken over by the devil last night
And no no no when he come around
I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for it all right now.

Hey mister Judge
You gonna lock me up
Cause I've been thinking things that I should not be thinkin' of
Go and hide all your brothers, go and hide the knife
Cause you got me creepin' though the dark in the middle of the lonely night
You'd better lock your door and throw away the key
Cause you ain't never met a man as guilty as me

And I no no no I don't lie
Cause I was taken over by the devil last night
And I no no no when he come around
And I've done bad thing and I'm paying for it all right now

And I no no no I don't lie
Cause I was taken over by the devil last night
And I no no no when he come around
Well, I've done bad thing and I'm paying for 'em all right now
Yeah, I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for it all right now
I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for it all right now
