Get off me. Get off me. Get off the bed.
Don’t hold me to only the things I said.
Don’t call me. I’ll call you. Don’t hold your breath.
Don’t worry, no hurry; it’s only death.
I’ll pace and talk a mile a minute, but you’ll never let me finish.
You’ll slice open every word I say.
I still can feel the engine revving, of your ’87 Chevy,
that first time you looked away.
Don’t hang up. Don’t hang up. Just let me say,
I’ll stop by. I don’t mind. You’re on my way.
I’m falling; I’m feeling lost in the woods.
The hot love I heard of, but never could.
I would have done it all already, if I could keep my fingers steady.
You have to kill somebody for respect.
Teach you to reach for the machete, and if your nerve tells you you’re ready,
you’ll learn to grab it by its neck.
Get off me. Get off me. Get off the bed.
Don’t hold me to only the things I said.
Don’t call me. I’ll call you. Don’t hold your breath.
Don’t worry, no hurry; it’s only death.
