lyrics

Dead things
Don’t want your dead things
Black and white when we once had red
Dead as the memories in my head
And since the dead can’t feel nothing
You don’t belong in my bed

Poor man
You’re such a poor man
Can’t offer more than your jewels and your gold
There ain’t one thing you ain’t sold
Most men spend their years on wisdom
But your age just made you old

Goddamn
God damn when we met
I wanted you but you just wanted a pet
A kitty to rub when your palms would sweat
I don’t beg for my treats, baby
And my treats are what you won’t forget

Cause I’m gone
You heard me: I’m gone
Gone like the life you left in the night
Gone like a dream in the light
We once had red
But now it’s all just black and white
