Death Row

Narrowly I escaped Inevitable Utter and Total ruin Though not left unscathed My name and face kept intact By benevolent Cowardice We wore our Sunday best Encircled your chrysalis But you slept through the crisis You will take a breath You'll take your very first breath You'll take a breath Once you've inhaled water May you have a good death A very good death As the dust's settling I'm Tiptoeing my way Back to controlled Environs The smug and relief When a voice stops me in my tracks And laughter bounds From the wreckage We came out easter dressed Now how could you second guess Well timed metamorphosis You will learn to laugh You'll get a belly-aching laugh You'll learn to laugh Once you've finished crying May you have a good death A very good death Throw the baby out with the bath Stone in a house of glass Lean into the cracks And let the sky fall in Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh All I would die for replaced By virtual Immaculate Imitation My tryptophan teeth And comatose lips firmly latched 'round the teat of a comfort whore We waited all night long For you at rock bottom Consoling your swan song You will get a kiss You'll get your very first kiss You'll get a kiss Once you've enjoyed falling May you have a good death A very good death Throw the baby out with the bath Stone in a house of glass Lean into the crack Stone in a house of glass Lean into the crack Stone in a house of glass Lean into the crack Stone in a house of glass Lean into the crack And let the sky fall in Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh
