I was taught to always be nice so I open doors on impulse
|
Always make room on the sidewalk though I notice no one else does
|
They just plow through knocking you down
|
With a smug look on their faces
|
So I stay home writing my songs in my fantasy oasis
|
Would it be out of line
|
To spend the rest of my life in my head?
|
While I'm running my thumb all along on a razor's edge?
|
Getting warm in the tub while I'm watching the clouds
|
Of the blood I spread
|
|
But I never said
|
What I wanted to say
|
What I wanted to say
|
What I wanted to say
|
What I wanted to say
|
Was DROP DEAD.
|
|
I'm a loner, like or not. A Marat. Inside I'm lonely
|
Purified my masochism in a bleeding ceremony
|
Light a candle, open my hand, and I'll end retaliations
|
From the dog pack cowardice here in the gauchest of the nations
|
|
Would it be too benign
|
To spend the rest of my time in my head?
|
Am I hurting myself to remember? Like Orson's sled?
|
I've been waiting so long for the words to this song
|
I bet I bleed to death
|
|
But I never said
|
What I wanted to say
|
What I wanted to say
|
What I wanted to say
|
What I wanted to say
|
Was DROP DEAD.
|
|
Now I hope that magically I will emerge back into life
|
Even though I'm vanishing now in a hemlock bath of wine
|
Become a hero swinging my sword in a bloody ancient world
|
And leave the life here ruined by guilt where they need to thin the herd
|
|
DROP DEAD.
|
|
Was what I wanted to say
|
What I wanted to say
|
Was DROP DEAD.
|
|
What I wanted to say
|
What I wanted to say
|
Was DROP DEAD.
|
|
What I wanted to say
|
What I wanted to say
|
What I wanted to say...
