I'm leaving out the parts I don't like
Oh, I ought to learn, to learn, I ought to learn I can't please myself every time
I say bring me sunflowers and bring me a landscape of clouds and rain
And let the sky give up her many, heavy hammered warnings
I'll take her warning
But you assumed, when I left, Mommy would wash my body back to you
Back to you

How many things?
How many things can I say to you?
And expect shock-horror, shock-horror, shock-horror, hallelujah
To descend again in sweet oblation
Your God's a lion, recently fed, drowsy
And the body, the body, the body, the body, the body, it waits for obliteration [bad word] on fire
Don't leave me waiting for the world to replace me
Replace me
Oh, replace me

I'll tell the [bad word] I have been sleeping with the lights on
Ever since I left you
Since I left you
