So now it’s decided; it’s out in the open, it’s all clear So now, we’re divided Burnt down burnt out, cropped sheer my dear, I fear Now it’s all broken and the poison is placed in the trap So tell me how to pretend with conviction And survive in this mire of contradiction
So what about this fruit of love Tell me how to protect it from the hail of hate x2 That lays in wait That lays in wait
How to keep up appearances in this neglected garden that’s me How to explain disappearances to these innocent victims you see So now I’m a painless shroud, I’m pulling all the shots A prisoner of my soul, my mind, my body At night I rattle the door handles; I try to keep lost
So what about this fruit of love Tell me how to protect it from the hail of hate x 4 That… lays in wait
I can’t help it if this is just a small town, and everybody knows your business Well, I can’t help it if this is just a small town and everybody knows your business I can’t help it if this is such a small town and everybody knows your business
So now you’ve picked at me, dissected me, masticated me, eaten me, feasted on me, wasted me and left me with the scraps.
Now you’ve diverted me, distorted me, dislocated me, decorticated me, dissipated me, integrated me and left me with the scabs.
I hope you’ll be sick through your skin, through your teeth through your stomach I hope you’ll retch and writhe in your own stinking vomit. I’ll lay in wait with baited breath while you wreath and you writhe in the mire or lies that you made and you choke on your own perfect poison.

I hope you’ll be sick
Through your teeth through your stomach through your face, I hope you’ll retch and writhe
Now here come the helicopters But they won’t save you baby
I hope you’ll be sick through your skin, through your teeth through your stomach I hope you’ll retch and writhe in your own stinking vomit
Through your skin, through your teeth, through your stomach
Retch and writhe, retch and writhe, retch and writhe

You say you’re a rainstorm, you say you’re a kite You say you’re a moment that isn’t always right You say you’re confusion, that you can’t know what’s in sight You say, understand me; but boy, you’re losing height You say you’re a soldier, with your own war to fight Well don’t you think it comes in handy,to lose yourself in flight?
You say you are, you say you are, you say you are sorry You say you are, you say you are, you say you are sorry Well so am I
You say you’re a snowstorm but now you’re falling fast But boy when your mama made you, well, she figured out you’d last You say you’re at random, and now you’ve lost control That surely you’ll regret it, oh, come on, boy, take a hold You say you’re a rainstorm, skimming across the bay You say you eat dinner, in a very special way
You say you are, you say you are, you say you are sorry You say you are, you say you are, you say you are sorry You say you are, you say you are, you say you are sorry You say you are, you say you are, you say you are sorry
Well so am I Well so am I Well so am I And so am I
Well so am I Well so am I Well so am I Well so am I
