| When I spend too much time alone, I get afraid
Afraid that you’re gonna leave me breathing Afraid of what they’d throw in the way In the way of something simple like leaving "Forgive me if you can," said the sad cashier "For the dollars and cents our love has become I didn’t sell you anything my dear You were a scarecrow looking for a bonfire to sleep on" "Believe me if you can," said the pile of bones "I think that this is all there is left to see Just waiting for my prescription to come Cause every second in hell dissolves more of me" And all of heaven’s ten thousand whores Are on a party line to his big toe Singing ooooh I just can’t do it anymore So don’t bother asking now you know Don’t bother me with little things Pennies, nickels, quarters, and dimes They’ve all taken me as far as I’m gonna go So don’t bother asking now you know Believe me if you can |
