lyrics
I see myself in a healthy kind of way
I can balance serotonin with an 8 pack and a blade
There's a gun at my Dad's house that I think I can mend
And a tingling in my fingers which just won't go away
I'm gonna find myself a lover
And treat her really well
I'm gonna take her to the river
And give her .....silly things
Having fun are we?
Having none.
I read my book it tought me everything I know
You know I wrote that book it taught me everything I know:
Always keep your feeling in your fists,
And always check for breathing when you've gone too far again.
My my, my mother told me not to worry
My my, my other half concerns the neighbours
My my, stick and stones will break my bones and
My my, words'll never hurt when I'm out cold.
I read my book...
My my, my dress was new on just this morning
My my, my balance isn't what it could be
My my, sticks and stones will break my bones and
My my, my life will never hurt when I'm out cold
Keep to well lit streets and don't repeat what you have seen of me
Try to understand - this wasn't planned - this wasn't planned
I see myself...
I feel nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.
My my, my other half is sleeping soundly
My my, survial guide was missing pages
My my I never knew not to cook with nightshade
Oh my! accidents will happen all the time.
I can balance serotonin with an 8 pack and a blade
There's a gun at my Dad's house that I think I can mend
And a tingling in my fingers which just won't go away
I'm gonna find myself a lover
And treat her really well
I'm gonna take her to the river
And give her .....silly things
Having fun are we?
Having none.
I read my book it tought me everything I know
You know I wrote that book it taught me everything I know:
Always keep your feeling in your fists,
And always check for breathing when you've gone too far again.
My my, my mother told me not to worry
My my, my other half concerns the neighbours
My my, stick and stones will break my bones and
My my, words'll never hurt when I'm out cold.
I read my book...
My my, my dress was new on just this morning
My my, my balance isn't what it could be
My my, sticks and stones will break my bones and
My my, my life will never hurt when I'm out cold
Keep to well lit streets and don't repeat what you have seen of me
Try to understand - this wasn't planned - this wasn't planned
I see myself...
I feel nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.
My my, my other half is sleeping soundly
My my, survial guide was missing pages
My my I never knew not to cook with nightshade
Oh my! accidents will happen all the time.
