lyrics

The carpet was sharp
In Vic's old room.
Well I never quite made it
Out of there.
It's a tail growing
From me, an ingrown
Scream a tumor made of
Empty noise.

If this is the day
When I rejoice
Give me just a little
Of my voice.

Then there are those days when
You look so good and the drugs
Are just ooh babe.
Far be it from me to say that
I'm livin' life in a dead way.
Every morning goes so slow and
Every night is a mile away.
As the stars will come out in the
Dark, I chart my life in such a way.

Took you like a river
Takes a blind child
Spitting flora grinning
Rose gardens.
But this was a white room
At noon on Thursday
You walked a high-wire with the
Strength of fame.

Give me a reason
Give me a voice
Give me anything that
Smells like choice.

Then there are those days when
You look so good and the drugs
Are just ooh babe.
Far be it from me to say that
I'm livin' life in a dead way.
Every morning goes so slow and
Every night is a mile away.
As the stars will come out in the
Dark, I chart my life in such a way.
