lyrics

my education was a slim black line,
a sentence laid, a slit in time

and we don't walk where we don't belong
and you can't talk while you're listening
and if it's all the same to you and yours i'd sooner die alone

my situation is time on the cross and a stiff at the door
my invitation is a rail of coke and a reason to blow
my education was a funeral march for a seed unsown
down a distant road

and we ain't on stage so you can save your show
and you can cry aloud while i chop alone
and if it draws a crowd play it to the bone
i'd sooner bleed a stone

i'd sooner die alone than under your half-assed caress,
you and the beast at your breast
