How To Be Dead

Please don't go crazy if I tell you the truth

No, you don't know what happened and you never will

If you don't listen to me while I talk to the wall

This blanket is freezing, it's been out in the hall

Where you've had me for hours 'til I'm sure what I want

But darling, I want the same thing that I wanted before

So sweetheart, tell me what's up, I won't stop, no way

Please keep your hands down and stop raising your voice

It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice

It's a simple suggestion, can you give me some time?

So just say yes or no, why can't you shoulder the blame?

'Cause both my shoulders are heavy from the weight of us both

You're a big boy now, so let's not talk about growth

You've not heard a single word I have said, oh, my God

Please take it easy, it can't all be my fault

I haven't made half the mistakes that you've listed so far

Baby, let me explain something, it's all down to drugs

At least I remember taking them and not a lot else

It seems I've stepped over lines you've drawn again and again

But if the ecstasy's in, the wit is definitely out

Dr. Jekyll is wrestlin' Hyde

For my pride
