I should have drown in the flood with the rest
|
I had the chance
|
The current was pitiless
|
And proof of man was wiped from the face of earth
|
|
The song, the dance
|
Yeah, I should have gone with it
|
Alas, Alas I'm stranded alone in the wake
|
Now I have lost all sight of the grave
|
|
When did I ever say that I want to be saved?
|
I can see for miles but it don't look the same
|
When no road has been paved go up
|
Go up , go up, go up
|
|
Now how am I gonna get down?
|
I want a slow death wrought from the dregs
|
"I want to be sedated," just like Joe said
|
I want the heaviest heart
|
|
I have eaten my weight in gold
|
I can see only what I'm shown up here
|
But in the coals with common men who yearn for ordinary things
|
Love cannot find us
|
|
So get out of my way
|
I got out of my own way
|
Better a tramp than a captive
|
Better alone than lonely with all these "friends"
|
|
What in the fuck am I doing here?
|
Why did the rapture not take me in?
|
It is my curse to carry on
|
|
I should have died when I was young
|
I should still be burning lung
|
If I had known what I'd become
|
|
I said
|
I should have drown in the flood with the rest
|
I had the chance, but here I am
|
