from the alleys to the valleys see 'em ridin' just like sally when you wake up in the middle and you just can't stay
i've seen the movies and the groovies and i'm searching for a ruby in the gutter with a promise and i'm on my way
send us all to high school make us pray to statues so we hang on corners lookin' bored
all the rubbish that you cherish with your hedonistic pleasures and your latest status symbols just can't stay
seen the majors chase the minors with the military blinders dangle carrots in the faces of the u.s.a.
i hate the local stiffness and all the capitol sickness you know they're waiting on a war
whisper in my ear dear (tell me something) why does suicide have such appeal (never nothin') no way-goin' like sailors and valentine failures ducking rejection with walls of protection
degeneration cross the nation lonely callers masturbation for a minute
just can't stay all the wheelers and the dealers and the zombies kill the feelings with a bottle and a vial and i'm on my way
i seen my mother watch her dreams just smother
don't wanna sing the graveyard song
whisper in my ear dear (tell me something) why do you pretend it ain't fucking real (never nothin') no way-heart felt attraction that never takes action just meetings and functions and social corruptions
all your niches and your stitches i'm not lyin' back and wishin' for a cinderella savior and i just can't stay call us fags and call us phonies but i make the ginamone and you hate it cause i shake it and i'm on my way
i can't wait till christmas barking in the darkness a broken hero at the bar
whisper in my ear dear (tell me something) why does suicide have such appeal (never nothin')
no way out no way out no way now no way!
fire to ashes and candy store flashes scars from the gashes and yesterday passes
from the alleys to the valleys see 'em ridin' just like sally when you wake up and you just can't stay
