Head Above Water

 

Don’t care if you mind if

The clocks don’t tell any time

Stay away.  Kiss – me –

Be in my life’s play

 

Fall short on twenty

And there’s still ten

Rotted teeth, don’t know from when

Smoke some more –  soak’em -

In bleach instead.

 

Don’t care who you are

Long as you’re a smelly kind of kind

Tomorrow’s the tears of yesterday

The years fallen by in shades of gray

Stay away – your venom kills -

1000 bodies day by day

 

Plus and minus my brain x 2

Tired gone overdrive; black & blue

Need your poison honey too much

I need too much to slack

Too much to slack

But don’t care if the clocks lose time

Stay away.  Kiss – me –

Be in my life’s play

– Your venom kills -

1000 bodies day by day
