lyrics

what's with that halo
hovering
above that thick skull
spare me
if i do say so
i think you're covering
course there was nothin
could have prepared me
for the side effect
of this dirty drug
the way you punish me
and then you shrug

what's with that phone call, baby
it's like you're trying just trying
to crush me
do you feel stronger
each time you push me, dear
did you tell your mom
you carpet bombed
before you left here
and is it just the side effect
of this dirty drug
or does each apology
sound more like a shrug

are you at home now
with your kitty cats
are you just at home now
with the way that you act
do you split the rent there
with all your secrets
or do you just pretend
to all your friends
they're uninvited guests

and when you want it tidy
tell me
can you still dispell me
sweep me neatly under the rug
does your conscience ever mention
the way that you treat me
or do you just fend it off
with a shrug
