  • Inside always trying to get back inside
    But it's so hard to penetrate pig-thick skin
    I'm 'bout as low as I can get
    I'd leave but I can't forget
    Still I wonder why it ain't right
    Mmm it ain't right, oooh
    Ain't right
    Mmm it ain't right, yeah

    'Bout as low as she can get
    She'll leave me but she won't forget
    And she wonders why she ain't right
    She ain't right
    Ain't right
    She ain't right

    Now we're as low as we can get
    Can't leave and can't forget

    We ain't right
    We ain't right
    Not right
    We ain't right
    Well it's hard to believe that somebody tricked you
    When you can see you were only high
    It's all up to you so you gamble
    Flat on your face and into the fire
    Well it's hard to believe that somebody tricked you
    When you can see you were only high
    It's all up to you so you gamble
    Flat on your face and into the fire Writer/s: Jerry Cantrell

  • Karl from UsaThis is a wildly inaccurate description. Layne was deep into his addiction during the recording of Sap. There are references to his heroin addiction in songs on Facelift.
  • Ciprian from RomaniaThis song is credited to Alice in Chains and apears on the band album "Sap".
  • Gema from Riverside, Casame thing on his solo stuff, he had a gf of 7 years..and he wrote about her a lot, like in the song "Angel Eyes"
  • Michelle from Vallarta, MexicoCan anyone tell me something about jerry cantrell?
    is he married or did he ever dated someone?
    it's just that he writes a lot about her girlfriends or for them.
    Some examples are heaven beside you, down in a hole, gone, right turn, over now...
    It just seems like they really afect him in a deep way.
  • Erin from Tulsa, OkJerry Cantrell said it "was a take on how women and men view each other".
  • Dan from Special TowneIncredible vocals on this track, spectacular really.
