I don't want to be no patch on no quilt
|
(I just want to see...)
|
Tear-stained stitching linking memories to guilt
|
(I just want to see...)
|
I don't want to be no hair on no wall
|
(I just want to see...)
|
Blood-stained note saying fuck you all
|
(I just want to see what kills me)
|
|
Tommy, are you ready we better head to town
|
J.D.'s box is waiting to be lowered down
|
And you know how he hates to be kept waiting 'round
|
|
I don't want to be no chalk line drawing
|
(I just want to see...)
|
Toe-tagged question mark, until identifying
|
(I just want to see...)
|
I don't want to fuse with no economy seat
|
(I just want to see...)
|
Fuel some fireball at 30,000 feet
|
(I just want to see what kills me)
|
|
Tommy, did you catch his face
|
Before they closed the lid?
|
I swear I saw him wink once and flash me that old grin
|
Oh, you know, that would be just like him
|
|
I don't want to face no hollow-eyed ending
|
(I just want to see...)
|
Loved ones buried, empty days of waiting
|
(I just want to see what kills me)
|
|
Tommy, darling, come to bed
|
We'll try and sleep away this sadness
|
These memories, too, are bound to die
|
So our dreams will have to serve us
|
Tomorrow may be the day that our love betrays us
|
