I'm the best you'll ever have
You're the best I'll never have


Pain...
Gone.
Rain...

Stop.
Sun...
Shine.

You're...
Mine.


Here kitty kitty kitty

MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY


Listen:
listen through the walls

the sound of quick footsteps sneaking down the hall
whispers
the pages turning

the leaky roof
the toilet flushing
numbers on the license plate


I'm nothing more than
The best you'll never have

A speck on your bedroom wall
A blood red waterfall


THE BEST YOU WILL EVER HAVE

Your dead things are locked up inside

Blow smoke rings straight back in time
Roses floating out with the tide
Dance and sing under gunfire

Open wings slowly take flight...

Around these parts a fly can live---

A fly can live a thousand years
but a man cannot die soon enough, true enough


A smiling drunk nursing a glass of milk
A girl with a face like prison bread
Over the kitchen noise I hear them howl at me


A scabby ketchup bottle and a two-dollar bill
I guess its time to pay the bill, but you know I never will

I'm hungry still...

RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY


Mercy killing on the way
Never thought I'd hear you say

Falling to your knees and pray now...

In this crowded place I could swing a cat

And not even hit a soul...
It's just the lonely vacuum of human black holes


And I'm as dry as these thirsty trees
with big city thoughts in the dirty breeze...
promising to set me free

"waiter, check please..."

I'M THE BEST YOU WILL EVER HAVE
