Written by Bill Mallonee for Russachugama Music and CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©1994

lyrics

you could live in the shadows
you could call them your friends
but then all they'll allow you
is a scantily-clad skeleton

i anticipate your deep concern
believe me all my bridges burned
long ago i reveled in that loathsome deed
so from upper rooms and empty tombs
love's fallen down on me
so you see i do not need your sympathy

got a tongue like a serpent
and you speak with a hiss
and you lie through your gold teeth
and your friends they're pathetic

saw you out among the patients
when they took you all out for a walk
you tried to grab me through the chain link
but my dad says i really shouldn't talk
