Do you remember where you were on that day? A day of life sentences and x-rays My name was on that birthday cake Your mother, your father, your brother and the thing under the covers Your lover, the others, the leeches, and the serpents and the suckers Your mother, your father, the babies, and the nurses and the doctors Your lover, the others, the waiting room, the gurney and the druggers Your mother, your father, your brother and the thing under the covers Your lover, the others, the leeches and serpents and the suckers Your mother, your father, the comas and the way the spirits hover Your lover, the others, I thought I wasn't smart enough to suffer Speaking pig latin Kiss me goodnight Dreaming white satin Kiss me goodnight Freedom, freedom, tying your legs down Freedom, freedom, fucking your brains out Freedom, freedom, blowing the candle out Freedom, freedom, waving to the crowd And I hate long goodbyes, anyway

I'm the best you'll 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 Here kitty, kitty, kitty Ooh Listen Listen through the walls The sound of quick footsteps sneaking down the hall Whispers The pages turning The leaky roof, the toilet flushing, numbers on the license plate I'm nothing more than The best you'll never have A speck on your bedroom wall A blood-red waterfall The best you will never ever The best you will never ever 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 I 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 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..." 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 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 Ooh Listen I'm the best that you will never ever know that you will ever have
