I know you have a cold tongue And I have a glass frame I broke my back carrying you Now we're drowning in this flame Self-destructions is what you do best You've got it to a fine art You can't remember your last meal Since that time he broke your heart Since that time I broke your heart Your father said you'd be just fine But did he realise you'd be drunk on wine At ten in the morning with smoke on your breath A pain in your head and a pain in your chest He calls He calls He calls He calls you. But the phone rings dead and he fears the worst for you He kicks down the door and he sees the pills and you He picks you up as he tries to save you Our father said you'd be just fine But did he realise you'd be drunk on wine At ten in the morning with smoke on your breath A pain in your head and a pain in your chest You're blinded by overhead lights Nurses in white coats that have saved your life You roll your shoulder to the right You say, "Dad, I feel so alive!"
