There's a girl who lives across the stair
she burns her matches one by one
a little slower every day
and it makes me sick to hear her say she's having
fun
all day on the telephone
pretending she's not dying alone
every day
In the dirty window of a fast moving bus
a skinny man is biting his nails
and you're never gonna know his name
until he doesn't go to pick up his
mail
and they find him lying there
face down on the ground
not a sound
oohh...
I've got a fist full of firecrackers and a jar full of gasoline
I've got a fist full of firecrackers and a jar full of gasoline
I've got a mouth full of firecrackers and a jar full of gasoline
oohh...
there's a dangerous man on the streets at night
drinks his wine with the screw top lid
he knows all the answers but he doesn't care
because he's got nothing to answer them
with
and he'll live a hundred years
if he lives a day
either way
there's a mother of three with an SUV
takes her pills by the bathroom light
dreams of days that are dead today
it can't be wrong if it feels so
right
and there's no reason why not
to give in while you can
and she can
oohh...
