I stared at your lips until my eyes went dull The way you used words was so beautiful I died in my dream last night You were in it and you said I always knew you’d die alone Pulling teeth out of the ragdoll’s mouth You threw away what you thought you could be without Before long you realize what a fool you've been You turn back away but you can't start again Creature comforts in the backseats of cars And in bathroom stalls of crowded bars I’m taking aim at what I thought id missed Everything I thought didn't exist All my best friends are communists They’re depressed so they slit their wrists But what you don’t know won’t be a distraction Put your books down son, because we want action
