And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,;
And the dust of rumors covers me.
People ask about you;
I didn't tell them everything I knew
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,;
Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
What was it you wanted;
When you were kissing my check?
Give ya delusions of grandeur;
And a evil eye;
Give you idea that;
You're too good to die
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense;
I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
The night is pitch black, come an' make my;
Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
I finally realize there's no room for regret
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
When destruction cometh swiftly;
And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,;
Have you decided whether you want to be;
In heaven or in hell?
I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
Don't trust me to show you the truth;
When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe;
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said;
"You look like the silent type."
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun;
I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
Junk is piling up, taking up space
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
Now the rainman gave me two cures,;
Then he said, "Jump right in.";
The one was Texas medicine,;
The other was just railroad gin.
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain;
Pay for your ticket and don't complain
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
I don't need any reminder;
To know how much I really care
When you think that you lost everything;
You find out you can always lose a little more
The pump don't work;
'Cause the vandals took the handles
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too";
He said, "You're not Him"
