  Floating the room

  Two by two from the womb

  To the holiday

  There is no holiday

  First double-cross her heart

  He wants to start a family

  Needing something to go on

  If she weren't writing in blood

  She'd bring him her jokes

  A new liver and a shovel for the mud

  If he were not knee-deep in mud

  He'd bring her his drugs

  He'd get her a typewriter

  If this is the life

  Why does it feel so good to die today?

  Blue to gray

  Grow up and blow away... [2x]

  Nobody knows which street to take

  He took the easy way

  What was the easy way?

  First double-cross her heart

  He wants to start a family

  She always thought she would not.

  If she weren't writing in blood

  She'd bring him her jokes

  A new liver and a shovel for the mud

  If he were not knee-deep in mud

  He'd bring her his drugs

  He'd get her a typewriter

  If this is the life

  Why does it feel so good to die today?

  Blue to gray

  Grow up and blow away... [2x]
