Show Me How To Live
And with the early dawn
Moving right along
I couldn't buy an eyeful of sleep
And in the aching night under satellites
I was not received
Built with stolen parts
A telephone in my heart
Someone get me a priest
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is this a cure or is this a disease
(chorus)
Nail in my head
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live
And in the after birth
On the quiet earth
Let the stains remind you
You thought you made a man
You better thing again
Before my role defines you
(chorus)
Nail in my head
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live
And in your waiting hands
I will land
And roll out of my skin
And in your final hours I will stand
Ready to begin
Cochise
Well I've been watching
While you’ve been coughing
I’ve been drinking life
While you’ve been nauseous
And so I drink to health
While you kill yourself
And I’ve got just one thing
that I can offer
(chorus)
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
I'm not a martyr
I'm not a prophet
And I won’t preach to you
But here's a caution
You better understand
That I won’t hold your hand
But if it helps you mend
Then I won’t stop it
(chorus)
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
Drown if you want
And I'll see you at the bottom
Where you’ll crawl on my skin
And put the blame on me
So you don’t feel a thing
(chorus)
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
