I saw you coming so I got to running Like hell I could tell that you played for keeps Now I live on a boat that sits on a moat On top of piss river, outside your castle And when death comes 'round, we all sing, "Oh, what an asshole" He stirs quite the fuss and he cause quite the hassle We all buy black suits as our lives go on mute And meet under the belfry to cry and say sorry
And oh my God Mama, I'm scared "I know you are, baby I am scared, too"
Do you want to play chess inside my chest? You move, I move, you choose, I choose And who, who, who? I beg like an owl As I sit on my perch and I stare and I scowl I know I left you, but I cannot forget you Now I only know how to harm or upset you See, I came for your love, but I stayed for your anger And you rocked me, mama, like a babe in a manger
And oh my God Mama, I'm angry "I know you are, darling But she's angry, too" And oh my God Mama, at who? "Oh, Kevin She's angry at you"
I tried to pray, but I didn't know what to say So I just mumbled some names I said, "I hope they're okay," then "amen" They were the names of my family and friends Oh, the planet's so lonely and the planet's so cold And if I'm so lucky, I'll die when I'm old I pray no disaster, no fire, no rain And I pray that no devil gets inside my brain As the world does its twirl 'tween the moon and the sun Casting clock shadows beyond everyone And the hours devour us As I stare out my window, as I ride this bus And man, it goes fast, and man, what a blur But I'd ride it the same, oh, just as it were It's that feeling in my stomach when the light was low And I'd get warm in my chest when my heart would slow And that feeling in my head when that music played Get dizzy in my soul from the glad song they sang What a dream to have ever felt the air so warm What a dream to have even ever been born
And oh my God Oh, mama, I love you And oh my God "Oh, baby, oh, darling I love you, too And I know that you know that I do"
