lyrics

Oh what tragedy to see you slip beneath
the surface of the mythical
One last breath and then that's it
Things will never be the same again

A promissory note
From heaven tied around my throat
Jesus Christ, the holy ghost
Cherub wings and harp strings steal the show

This time I bit off a little too much
Flat on my back, I listen to the sound
As she says you can tie me up
But you'll never tie me down

Cosmic intervention: they forget to mention
Good folks die
from time to time
or left and right they drop like flies:
surviving is the consolation prize

And I swear I used to know
The difference between a joke
And this sad artifice
Swing and miss (ooh ooh)
Say your grace and lose your place
Asphyxiation blues stay on your face

This time I bit off a little too much
Flat on my back, I listen to the sound
As she says you can tie me up
But you'll never tie me down
