well this kid
you have tried on fire
& this kid
you have kept on ice

& it’s not at all any of your fault
if this kid is still alive

well world’s turned a funky snuff show for you babe
world’s turned a snuff show for bad

you said you just wouldn’t cherish
my presence anymore
& that took a while for me to understand
& now I can hear your cries of despair
cries of loneliness I know so well

took me a while to understand
what you’d been trying to say all the time
quicksilver truth so evasive
love’s turned a snuff show for bad
but it’s really not so easy to understand

that you want to drive me insane

if this kid is still alive
it hasn’t been any of your fault
at all

’cause this kid’s been tried on fire
this kid’s been laid on ice
& our world’s turned a funky snuff porn show for you babe
turned a funky snuff show for bad

& it hasn’t been any of your fault
if this kid is still alive

an open knife is such a nice friendly thing
especially if that blood dripping from it
is blood from my very own wounds

it hasn’t been any of your fault
if this kid is still alive
