Kevin hurt me with a cheap shot to my pride Now what the fuck do you call that? I thought I knew him... maybe not Allegra lashed out with a cruelty I've never known It made me cringe... I nearly choked Are you my man? Yeah I'm your man And who left you that keyhole in your heart? Angry people populate your bedroom after dark And I can help you only if you believe you're beyond help I'm fading away Deep breath Now hold it for a little bit longer My god no wonder I'm ill Maybe I'm not ready for the real world My friend Keith would hold me underwater, when we were 10 He'd let me up when I turn blue, then push me down again I hardly ever think of Keith, or that dead cat in the pool He'd flick a lighter underneath my chin Are you my man? Yeah I'm your man And who left you that keyhole in your heart? Angry people populate your bedroom after dark And I can help you only if you believe you're beyond help I'm fading away Deep breath Now hold it for a little bit longer My god no wonder I'm ill Maybe I'm not made for the real world High tension gigantic implosion now I wed my child bride A gangly Puerto Rican teen We cuddle in the dark and brag about our gangrene And who could help me now that I believe I'm beyond help? Old ponies should die, not fade away Deep breath Now hold it for a little bit longer If I try hard I've a imagine I've a crookback and a whiphand Maybe I'm not ready for the real world High tension gigantic implosion now
