Hello. Is it me you’re lookin’ for.
There’s a plague outside your door — won’t go away.
(Won’t go away.)
Holdin’ a mouthful of feet? I’m in it.
Fuckin’ up rinse and repeat. I’m with it.
Any old style don’t work. I mean it.
Taken on matters of worth. (It’s Personal)
Feedin’ the rules to the beast. For dinner.
Jesus won’t take care of me. A sinner.
Maybe the wolf won’t leave. A clinger.
Maybe the wolf is me.
(And it’s a moon tonight.)
Ripped shirt. Jaw Hurt. Hair full of blood.
I thought damn sure I was one of us.
(But is it full?)
If mistakes were made I made them major.
I’d better check for my name in the papers.
Put all the shame on me. I did it.
Douse me with gasoline. To finish.
Any old style won’t work . I mean it.
Taken on matters of worth. (It’s Personal.)
