(CH) its your second chance for the very last time
with your head in your hands and your future behind
grab your life pull as hard as you can
cause your up to your dick in the devils quicksand (waist, tits, head)
if she told you once it was good advice
but a thousand times now that’s just a slice
of some other reality you’d preferm to ignore
it’s just that easy you shut the door
on the love she gave it was just too good
and you always hated how she understood
and you walked away and you felt so free
in the park that day spinning under the trees
but now its cold and the darkness comes
and the drugs wear off and your chums are scum
and the cyst on your arm is turning green
and the one-eyeds guys sez it’s the worst he’s seen
so you drag your ass to the ER room
and you wait 12 hours while the TV booms
and the little kids and the sobbing man
and the angel of death is right at hand
you just cant wait and you run outside
in the streetlight night you stop and cry
“is this their pain–or is it mine?”
you ask yourself but you knew all the time
[ch] neck
twenty cents is all it takes
but ya drop the dimes cause ya got the shakes
ya try again an ya get ’em in
but the the phone just rings and your gut caves in
your knees give out ya hit the ground
people walking by just step around
ya see the sky you see the rain
ya see your ashes in a bag in a paupers grave
but the phones in your hand and your hanging on
and just before the dark her voice comes on
and ya tell her “baby just one last time”
she doesn’t say nothing you hear her crying
—-
her sobbing lasts for such a long time
you almost forget why your on the line
then it comes back like a drano slam
you got one last chance slip this jam
“come on baby i’m on the bricks”
you can almost hear her kitchen clock tick
“I haven’t done nothin’ in 36 hours
and I need a place to take a shower.”
and then it comes and you know your dead
her hollow laugh fills up your head
she drops the phone and it hits the floor
(y’hear her) walk away and laugh some more
(ch) over your head
