I should have drown in the flood with the rest I had the chance The current was pitiless And proof of man was wiped from the face off the earth, the song, the dance I should have gone with it
Alas, alas
I'm stranded alone in the wake Now I have lost all sight of the grave When did I ever say that I want to be saved? I can see for miles but it doesn't look the same When no road has been paved,
Go up Go up Go up Go up
Now how am I gonna get down?
I want a slow death wrought from the dregs "I want to be sedated' Just like joey said. I want the heaviest heart
I have eaten my weight in gold I can see only what I'm shown up here But in the coals with common men who yearn for ordinary things love cannot find us
So get out of my way I got out of my own way Better a tramp, than a captive Better alone than lonely with all these "friends"
What in the fuck am I doing here? Why did the rapture not take me in? It is my curse to carry on.
I should have died when I was young I should still be burning lung If i had known what I'd become
I should have drown in the flood with the rest I had the chance, But here I am.
