Can't you see I'm in decay?
Like a pitchfork in the rain.
Rusted red my metal stained,
I'm cracking up like peeling paint.
Hold me close to your heart...
Can't you see I'm in denial?
Like a clown that paints his smile.
This head's a junkyard gone to pot,
Just a milk-tooth left to rot.
Hold me close to your heart...
Can't you see my memory fade?
Like a washboard scrubbing stains.
My tongue has twisted in to knots,
My words are stories with no plots.
Hold me close to your heart...
Can't you see me fall apart?
Like a burning house of card!
Clubs and diamonds in array,
The spades are digging their own graves.
Hold me close to your heart...
Like a pitchfork in the rain.
Rusted red my metal stained,
I'm cracking up like peeling paint.
Hold me close to your heart...
Can't you see I'm in denial?
Like a clown that paints his smile.
This head's a junkyard gone to pot,
Just a milk-tooth left to rot.
Hold me close to your heart...
Can't you see my memory fade?
Like a washboard scrubbing stains.
My tongue has twisted in to knots,
My words are stories with no plots.
Hold me close to your heart...
Can't you see me fall apart?
Like a burning house of card!
Clubs and diamonds in array,
The spades are digging their own graves.
Hold me close to your heart...
