How To Be Dead

Please don't go crazy if I tell you the truth
No, you don't know what happened and you never will if
You don't listen to me while I talk to the wall
This blanket is freezing, it's been out in the hall
Where you've had me for hours till I'm sure what I want
But darling I want the same thing that I wanted before.
So sweetheart tell me what's up. I won't stop. No way!

Please keep your hands down and stop raising your voice.
It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice.
It's a simple suggestion, can you give me some time?
So just say yes or no, why can't you shoulder the blame?
'Cause both my shoulders are heavy from the weight of us both.
You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth.
You've not heard a single word I have said. Oh my God!

Middle eight...

Please take it easy. It can't all be my fault.
I haven't made half the mistakes that you've listed so far.
Baby, let me explain something, it's all down to drugs.
At least I remember taking them and not a lot else.
It's seems I've stepped over lines you've drawn again and again,
But if the ecstacy's in, the wit is definitely out.
Doctor Jeckyll is wrestling Hyde, for my pride.
