|
I'm the best you will ever have |
|
You're the best I'll never have |
|
Pain gone, rain stop, sun shine, you're mine |
|
Here kitty, kitty, kitty |
|
Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy |
|
Listen, listen through the walls |
|
The sound of quick footsteps sneaking down the hall |
|
Whispers, the pages turning |
|
The leaking roof, the toilet flushing |
|
Numbers on the license plate |
|
I'm nothing more then |
|
The best you'll never have |
|
A speck on your bedroom wall |
|
A blood red waterfall |
|
The best you will ever have |
|
Your dead things are locked up inside |
|
Blow smoke rings straight back in time |
|
Roses floating out with the tide |
|
Dance and sing under gunfire |
|
Open wings slowly take flight |
|
Around these parts a fly can live |
|
A fly can live a thousand years |
|
But a man cannot die soon enough |
|
True enough |
|
A smiling drunk nursing a glass of milk |
|
A girl with a face like prison bread |
|
Over the kitchen noise a hear them howl at me |
|
A scabby ketchup bottle and a two-dollar bill |
|
I guess it's time to pay the bill |
|
But you know I never will |
|
I'm hungry still |
|
Run away, run away, run away, run away |
|
Mercy killing on the way |
|
Never thought I'd hear you say |
|
Falling to your knees and pray now |
|
In this crowded place I could swing a cat |
|
And not even hit a soul |
|
It's just the lonely vacuum of human black holes |
|
And I'm as dry as these thirsty trees |
|
With big city thoughts in the dirty breeze |
|
Promising to set me free |
|
Waiter, check please |
|
I'm the best you will ever have |
