that shadow keeps following me Lyrics

A victim of his birth

A victim of the Universe

Just can't find the words

That will cure me from this curse

But I'm not so sure

That I'm ready to leave your leather purse

When things start to turn

They always seem to be for the worse

A victim of T-shirts

A victim of everything that hurts

Buried in the dirt

I'll dehydrate in the desert

I can't put it in reverse

Just keep headed forward and pray this works

I could never be a nurse

I got too many thoughts in need of disperse

I hate to be a jerk

But I know you stopped listening after the first verse

A victim of her worth

A victim of her time on the Earth

The Catholic Church will flirt

With million dollar bills from freak perverts

Predetermined eulogies

Of cardboard cutout misery

That shadow keeps following me

Eyes telling secrets that I can't see

Self-fulfilling prophecies

Of Biblical Snakes and Ladders parodies

That shadow keeps following me

Suburban Commando trying not to get free

How dare you call to have us

Filled, up, with vitamins and thieves

That shadow keeps staring at me

.45 Revolvers pointed at your knees
