Lyrics
|
|
Well,
|
|
he
|
|
collapsed
|
|
with
|
|
Stevens-
|
|
Johnson
|
|
Syndrome
|
|
on
|
|
the
|
|
E.R.
|
|
floor
|
|
Anaphylaxis
|
|
with
|
|
a
|
|
pack
|
|
of
|
|
bottle
|
|
rockets
|
|
Oh,
|
|
the
|
|
way
|
|
he
|
|
spun
|
|
his
|
|
butterfly
|
|
risked
|
|
all
|
|
six
|
|
his
|
|
phalanges
|
|
With
|
|
a
|
|
bag
|
|
of
|
|
tangerines
|
|
in
|
|
his
|
|
back
|
|
pockets
|
|
And
|
|
the
|
|
method
|
|
with
|
|
which
|
|
he
|
|
recycled
|
|
his
|
|
vitamins
|
|
Had
|
|
started
|
|
to
|
|
leave
|
|
scars
|
|
in
|
|
the
|
|
corners
|
|
of
|
|
his
|
|
eyes
|
|
And
|
|
looked
|
|
through
|
|
the
|
|
white-
|
|
out
|
|
revelation,
|
|
shame
|
|
he
|
|
saw
|
|
no
|
|
stars
|
|
Even
|
|
underneath
|
|
the
|
|
wide
|
|
Ohio
|
|
skies
|
|
Shields
|
|
himself
|
|
from
|
|
reason
|
|
in
|
|
a
|
|
Teflon
|
|
alabaster
|
|
jacket
|
|
Quilted
|
|
from
|
|
the
|
|
finest
|
|
fibers,
|
|
flesh,
|
|
and
|
|
fiberglass,
|
|
and
|
|
flowers
|
|
Screams
|
|
his
|
|
thoughts
|
|
to
|
|
hear
|
|
them
|
|
Over
|
|
self-
|
|
assured
|
|
sarcastic
|
|
racket
|
|
rabble-
|
|
rousing
|
|
babble
|
|
round
|
|
the
|
|
table
|
|
people
|
|
to
|
|
the
|
|
power
|
|
For
|
|
what?
|
|
For
|
|
what?
|
|
For
|
|
what
|
|
it's
|
|
worth,
|
|
If
|
|
it
|
|
was
|
|
going
|
|
to
|
|
kill
|
|
you,
|
|
boy,
|
|
it
|
|
would
|
|
have
|
|
by
|
|
now
|
|
For
|
|
what?
|
|
For
|
|
what?
|
|
For
|
|
what
|
|
it's
|
|
worth,
|
|
There's
|
|
no
|
|
more
|
|
looking
|
|
back,
|
|
it's
|
|
looking
|
|
up
|
|
or
|
|
looking
|
|
down
|
|
Well,
|
|
he
|
|
was
|
|
uh,
|
|
well
|
|
he
|
|
was
|
|
uh,
|
|
he
|
|
was
|
|
uh...
|
|
He-
|
|
he
|
|
was-
|
|
he
|
|
was-
|
|
he
|
|
was
|
|
carrying
|
|
this
|
|
briefcase
|
|
filled
|
|
with
|
|
teeth
|
|
that
|
|
he
|
|
had
|
|
ordered
|
|
online
|
|
from...
|
|
China
|
|
And
|
|
he
|
|
had
|
|
slung
|
|
over
|
|
his
|
|
shoulder
|
|
the
|
|
skin
|
|
of
|
|
a
|
|
cat
|
|
that
|
|
he
|
|
grew
|
|
up
|
|
with
|
|
And
|
|
then
|
|
had,
|
|
uh,
|
|
stuffed
|
|
to
|
|
preserve
|
|
its
|
|
memory
|
|
in
|
|
physical
|
|
form
|
|
But
|
|
decided
|
|
that
|
|
with
|
|
the
|
|
skeleton
|
|
inside
|
|
the
|
|
cat
|
|
and
|
|
all
|
|
the
|
|
stuff
|
|
stuffing
|
|
it,
|
|
it
|
|
was
|
|
too
|
|
heavy,
|
|
so
|
|
he
|
|
removed
|
|
the
|
|
skin
|
|
from
|
|
the
|
|
wire
|
|
frame
|
|
of
|
|
the
|
|
taxidermy
|
|
thing
|
|
and
|
|
he-
|
|
he-
|
|
he
|
|
slung
|
|
around
|
|
his
|
|
neck
|
|
like
|
|
a
|
|
scarf,
|
|
and
|
|
um...
|
|
He
|
|
was
|
|
wearing
|
|
stolen
|
|
rubber
|
|
shoes
|
|
and
|
|
wrapped
|
|
a
|
|
poison
|
|
ivy
|
|
noose
|
|
Around
|
|
his
|
|
Lotus
|
|
jugular
|
|
when
|
|
they
|
|
came
|
|
Well,
|
|
they
|
|
found
|
|
him
|
|
with
|
|
a
|
|
map
|
|
to
|
|
every
|
|
victim
|
|
of
|
|
his
|
|
love
|
|
And
|
|
a
|
|
tattoo
|
|
of
|
|
a
|
|
blue
|
|
jay
|
|
on
|
|
his
|
|
face
|
|
And
|
|
they
|
|
waited
|
|
for
|
|
his
|
|
vital
|
|
signs
|
|
to
|
|
lie
|
|
and
|
|
let
|
|
his
|
|
flatline
|
|
cry
|
|
a
|
|
hymn
|
|
out
|
|
in
|
|
Hungarian
|
|
Harmonic
|
|
But
|
|
he
|
|
cocked
|
|
his
|
|
noggin,
|
|
through
|
|
his
|
|
stoma
|
|
sang,
|
|
"For
|
|
Auld
|
|
Lang
|
|
Syne,
|
|
Happy
|
|
birthday
|
|
to
|
|
the
|
|
succulents,
|
|
I'll
|
|
die
|
|
your
|
|
hydroponics."
|
|
His
|
|
rib
|
|
cage
|
|
was
|
|
a
|
|
hornet's
|
|
nest,
|
|
palpitations
|
|
set
|
|
the
|
|
beat
|
|
His
|
|
vagus
|
|
nerve
|
|
a
|
|
Turk's
|
|
head
|
|
knot,
|
|
an
|
|
axel
|
|
hitch,
|
|
a
|
|
Carrick
|
|
bend
|
|
He
|
|
wondered
|
|
if
|
|
the
|
|
good
|
|
lord
|
|
Jesus
|
|
charged
|
|
a
|
|
cancellation
|
|
fee
|
|
Auf
|
|
wiedersehn,
|
|
au
|
|
revoir,
|
|
he
|
|
gripped
|
|
his
|
|
wits
|
|
right
|
|
by
|
|
their
|
|
ends!
|
|
For
|
|
what?
|
|
For
|
|
what?
|
|
For
|
|
what
|
|
it's
|
|
worth,
|
|
If
|
|
it
|
|
was
|
|
going
|
|
to
|
|
kill
|
|
you,
|
|
boy,
|
|
it
|
|
would
|
|
have
|
|
by
|
|
now
|
|
For
|
|
what?
|
|
For
|
|
what?
|
|
For
|
|
what
|
|
it's
|
|
worth,
|
|
There's
|
|
no
|
|
more
|
|
looking
|
|
back,
|
|
it's
|
|
looking
|
|
up
|
|
or
|
|
looking
|
|
down
|
|
You
|
|
settle
|
|
into
|
|
a
|
|
new
|
|
mind
|
|
In
|
|
a
|
|
flea-bitten
|
|
tub
|
|
ring
|
|
paradise
|
|
of
|
|
a
|
|
queen
|
|
size
|
|
suite
|
|
of
|
|
a
|
|
Wyndham,
|

Microtel,

Econo

Red

Super
|
|
Eight--
|
|
whatever
|
|
outside
|
|
Richmond,
|
|
Virginia
|
|
I
|
|
curled
|
|
up
|
|
an
|
|
old
|
|
Showtime
|
|
softcore
|
|
porno
|
|
and
|
|
flipped
|
|
through
|
|
my
|
|
phone
|
|
for
|
|
a
|
|
few
|
|
hours
|
|
Picked
|
|
up
|
|
a
|
|
bag
|
|
of
|
|
Swedish
|
|
Fish
|
|
and
|
|
a
|
|
fistful
|
|
of
|
|
chocolate
|
|
covered
|
|
cherries,
|
|
and
|
|
a
|
|
pack
|
|
of
|
|
Marlboro
|
|
NXT
|
|
for
|
|
three
|
|
dollars
|
|
and
|
|
ninety
|
|
cents
|
|
at
|
|
the
|
|
bodega
|
|
by
|
|
the
|
|
Waffle
|
|
House
|
|
I
|
|
spun
|
|
my
|
|
eyes
|
|
over
|
|
the
|
|
beautiful
|
|
floral
|
|
arrangements,
|
|
blooming
|
|
and
|
|
tessellating
|
|
in
|
|
the
|
|
stucco
|
|
on
|
|
the
|
|
walls
|
|
Anything,
|
|
I
|
|
figured,
|
|
to
|
|
keep
|
|
my
|
|
mind
|
|
off
|
|
those
|
|
goosebumps
|
|
that
|
|
were
|
|
rising,
|
|
and
|
|
squeaking,
|
|
and
|
|
cracking,
|
|
and
|
|
quacking
|
|
And
|
|
threatening
|
|
anaphylaxis
|
|
and
|
|
asphyxiation
|
|
with
|
|
every
|
|
sharp
|
|
inhale
|
|
that
|
|
I
|
|
took
|
|
With
|
|
the
|
|
threat
|
|
of
|
|
Stevens-
|
|
Johnson
|
|
Syndrome
|
|
behind
|
|
my
|
|
flesh
|
|
And
|
|
I
|
|
watched
|
|
as
|
|
my
|
|
skin
|
|
crawled
|
|
upwards
|
|
to
|
|
form
|
|
a
|
|
flesh
|
|
noose
|
|
To
|
|
hang
|
|
me
|
|
from
|
|
the
|
|
rafters
|
|
of
|
|
that
|
|
place
|
|
I
|
|
had
|
|
found
|
|
myself
|
|
in
|
|
and
|
|
I
|
|
watched
|
|
as
|
|
my
|
|
epidermis
|
|
took
|
|
on
|
|
the
|
|
shape
|
|
of
|
|
whatever
|
|
I
|
|
feared
|
|
the
|
|
most
|
|
in
|
|
that
|
|
moment
|
|
And
|
|
I
|
|
sat
|
|
there,
|
|
down
|
|
in
|
|
that
|
|
fly
|
|
trap
|
|
ashtray
|
|
Contemplating
|
|
my
|
|
next
|
|
move
|
|
and
|
|
weighing
|
|
out
|
|
the
|
|
pros
|
|
and
|
|
cons
|
|
of
|
|
EVERY.
|
|
LAST.
|
|
ROTTEN.
|
|
PULSE!
|
|
It

was

either
|
|
Wilmington,

North
|

Carolina,

or

the

nearest

hospital!
|

For

For

For
