Damned if you do - and damned if you don't
Throw down the gauntlet - and stay in your home

Try to decide - call me again
Cheap suicide - 1-800-Kevorkian

Why must I drown in this river of madness
How'd you escape from a broken up brain
I don't wanna drift from this bruising blue twilight 
Picking up pieces to start it again and again

The jewel of denial
Closin' down for awhile
You may not have a clue
But don't touch that dial

Why must I drown in this river of madness
How'd you escape from a broken up brain
I don't wanna drift from this bruising blue twilight
Picking up pieces to start it again and again

Don't mess with the bull
Or you'll get the horns
Best watch where you tread
Or you'll wish you weren't born
Dread forceps my head
Creeps into my bed
A wink to the blind
A scream to the deaf

Why must I drown in this river of madness
How'd you escape from a broken up brain
I don't wanna drift from this bruising blue twilight
Picking up pieces to start it again and again
Why must I swim thru this river of madness
When I just crawled thru that desert of hate
I don't remember when I felt elation
I wanna go but I guess I should wait I should wait
