Lyrics


nodding constantly, bent in half
struggle to remember recent past
my question is which christmas is last
living slowly, dying fast

flaming red streak under our feet
crusading towards her endless neat
fattens them up with all her treats
senility renders a fight to cheat

frustration high, patience worn thin
thumbs constricting her double chin
murder's okay but cursing's a sin
love the white boys and cherish them

and they think they are always right
tears rush through eyes closed tight
and they think they are always right
Won't know if she'll see tonight

Shrunk and lost
drunk and stoned
going home again
alone
