Since you're talking about life and death Might I mention your breath? It's got blood on it, baby You know I know the scent Now why don't you tell me where you really went? Down to the river - that's why you're wet And cold and muddy... and don't forget To tell me how you fucked him, and how you met Blood and bone and beer and cigarette I was a born a has-been That is true Never knew where to go, who to see, what to do I was born a has-been That's correct Never knew what to do, how to intersect Always every April, you start to miss the fall With the leaves and clouds and snow covering all Be sure to tuck yourself in good so the cops can't see How cold we are, how old we are, dead inside a tree The jar up on the counter is last night's haul You know you do it for me baby, you're a living doll You know you do it for me baby, right up on the wall Without you in my veins I'd stumble and fall You know you do it for me baby, you're a living doll You do it for me baby, right up on the wall

The lyrics to this song suck.

Jokers to the right of me Clowns to the left of me Clowns to the left of me Boys to the left of me Girls to the right of me Girls out of sight of me Killers to the right of me Pussies to the left of me Pussies they all left on me Waking life is empty Nightmares strangle sleep They're so real that they're mine to keep

Keep your airplanes, keep your cars We already fucked up Mars Keep your motherfucking hands to your self Keep a jar of dicks on a shelf Why you always gotta have more? So you go and you buy it at the store If you need more money, print more On the hides of the working poor Chorus: Gotta wonder why it's always this way What's the matter with people? Go away. You're a cell inside a cancer, today Got a river of boots, Got a field of hands There's my neighbor, she's buried She's buried in the sand Looks like she stood by her, stood by her Died by her man I'd like to say they went to heaven but it just ain't the truth You got no proof
