lyrics

I'll find a room to rent with no credit check. No application fee and the first month is free. The Lord giveth to me - and then he takes away. Sounds like a game to me that the Indian givers play.

Hunger's just a feeling, it'll go away again. You're accusing me of stealing but I took food from a friend. A friend will let you live, a friend will forgive. Sort of like a savior who understands your sins.

A flock of stars came down to me, they came to take me up - they came to give me peace. I chose to stay alive, I chose to stay inside where I will pass the time. Where I'll stay occupied. Jesus came down once to take away our sins sort of like a garbageman emptying the bins. Jesus may come back to take away our sins but we have killed him once and we'll kill him again.

What goes around comes around, and comes around again. It keeps on coming around until the circle's finally broken. I'll never try again, I'll never try again. If at first you don't succeed - maybe you should take a hint.

I took out all my teeth and threw my tongue away. There's nothing left to eat, and nothing else to say.
