lyrics

It’s coming from the cellar
It creeps about like death
It slithers up your staircase
And crawls into your head
He’s standing on the corner with the wind against his chest
His hands are in his pockets, but a gun’s beneath his vest
He laughs at you and smiles while you get into your car
You say, “I’m not who I used to be” and he says, “Oh yes you are”
I’m sorry honey, but I can’t laugh like that anymore
I’m sorry babe, but I can’t laugh like that anymore

Staring out the window with your elbows on your knees
You got your chin in your hands and your tongue between your teeth
You’ve been living up the river in a place all by yourself
A man comes around and knocks on your door, helps you dust your shelves
Once in awhile
He stands up to leave and he starts laughing across the bar
You say, “I’m not who I used to be” and he says, “Oh yes you are”
I’m sorry…yeah

Why…why…tell me why
Why…why…tell me why
Black bone, fish-eyed tenderloin
Lying in the alley by the Chinese joint
Why, why, tell me why

Blood on your hands
Snakes in your bunk
The balloons you carried have blown away
All your ships have sunk
Wake up your lover
Pack up a trunk
You can snort those crackers good and high and pretend you’re caviar
You say, “I’m not who I used to be” and he says, “Oh yes you are”
I’m sorry honey, but I can’t laugh like that anymore
I’m sorry babe, but I can’t laugh like that anymore
I’m sorry…yeah, I’m so sorry
