The Afghan Whigs are an American rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio, originally active from 1986 to 2001. They have since reformed.

Up all night, again
As for sleep, no comprende

And to know is to be on your way

Off these snotty little rave kids I met
And I shuffled off to Buffalo
If I have love, then I hide it
Then the people that I hide it from

You gotta take on every double cross
And every double dare, I swear to you
Unchain your mind, become divine
Surrender, surrender my love
And get on down here and say it with me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Sick and tired again
Fucked and wired again
It's all so beautiful
Sound like a stone temple sob story to me 
If I'm on your mind again
You must be trippin' on some of that
Voodoo I been throwin' down
When you're high and lost in the clouds
Then you know it's time to get down, again
