MY BLASTED BLOODSHOT EYES
THEY TOOK ME DOWN IN SIZE
AND I BOUNCED UP OFF THE GROUND
TILT-A-WHIRLED AROUND
AND SHOWED YOU WHAT YOU MADE ME
SHOWED YOU WHAT YOU MADE ME

MY ALMOST HEART ATTACK
IT LEFT ME WITH NO SLACK
'TIL I THREW AWAY MY SWORDS,
CLUNG TO THE FLOORBOARDS
AND PROMISED THEN TO TURN MY BACK
PROMISED THEN TO TURN MY BACK

BUT YOU KNOW THERE'S
NOTHING WORSE THAN SOMETHING
YOU CAN'T LEAVE BEHIND
AND ALL THE DRUNKS AND ADDICTS
SPILL THIS STORY ALL THE TIME

THAT NEON SPEAKS MY NAME
I BOW DOWN TO ITS FAME
EXASPERATE MY HEART
PIERCE IT ON A LARK
AND CRAWL BACK LIKE I'M SO ASHAMED
CRAWL BACK LIKE I'M SO ASHAMED

THAT BATHROOM MEDICINE
LET'S ALL YOUR PROBLEMS IN
THEN PUTS 'EM ALL ON HOLD
'TIL THEY WANNA BLOW
AND DROP YOU IN THE BARGAIN BIN
DROP YOU IN THE BARGAIN BIN

BUT YOU KNOW THERE'S
NOTHING WORSE THAN SOMETHING
YOU CAN'T LEAVE BEHIND
AND ALL THE DRUNKS AND ADDICTS
SPILL THIS STORY ALL THE TIME

I'LL SPILL THIS STORY TO YOU AND NO ONE ELSE
MY BLASTED BLOODSHOT EYES HAVE PUT ME IN THIS CELL
IF YOU COULD LOVE ME LIKE I WAS SOMEONE ELSE
THEN I'D IGNORE THE FACT I REALLY WAS MYSELF
