lyrics
Take two steps back
Mutter something though
There's no one in the room who can hear
And get the hell out of there
But it seems awfully routine
And so you pause at the stairs
Amidst the hospital scene
Turn around, kid
And just pray that she says,
"I'll be your penance, baby, if you need
Although your lifetime of blindness nearly buried me
It's just a goddamn shame that this is what it takes to see"
But you're still in the doorway of that stairwell thinking, "Wouldn't it be easier..."
With your toes hanging off the first step, gravity is on your side, pulling you
'Cause anywhere is better than that hospital bed with the woman that you put in it
But sometime, something has got to change for good.
Turn around
