It took a long time
For me to get this blind
But if I do get back my sight
It won't be tonight
There are too many
Howls in the air
I have to answer
And all those red lips
To give me their kisses
Of cancer
I need to fly
Through the air
With the greatest of ease
Tell God to f*ck off
Then get down
On my knees
How I want to be with
That man on the
Flying trapeze
I want to roll away
The net
And take his disease
La, la
La, la, la, la
And though you may think
That my lifestyle stinks
I might
Just sleep like a baby tonight
Yes, I might
Just sleep like a baby tonight
If I make it
To bed at all
There are so many voices
Moaning in the dark
And you know
I must answer them all
What would they do
Without me?
I wouldn't want them to be alone
While they're lonely
Much better
To have a friend
Who will drag you
Right to the end
Than to
Wake up
Feeling unfinished
In the morning
La, la
La, la, la, la
So come on boys
I'm bringing the toys
If you're cheating on your wife
That's even better
I'll butter your buns
And clean out your guns
And I'll be sure to write your wife
A thank you letter
La, la
La, la, la, la
Yes, it took a long time
For me to get this blind
But it didn't take much work
As I recall
Just a heart full of hate
And a couple bad dates
Then I was ready to say
F*ck it all
