  • By the way that you picked up the phone
    I could tell that you weren't gonna die
    February is about as long as it is wide

    I guess I've been pretty good with it
    Trying hard not to get too obsessed with it
    I guess I shouldn't have been surprised

    I guess I was pretty much prepared for it
    I was just stuck in my own sense of time
    Rigid and depressed, needy, halfway pissed and resigned

    The parking lots and the office talk
    They punch my card at the coffee shop
    I'm pretty sure we're all gonna die
    I'm pretty sure we're all gonna die

    I suppose you thought that I'd be shaken up
    I suppose you thought I'd be gushing blood
    Not true
    I only died on the inside

    I suppose you thought that I'd be taken out
    Back behind one of those bars downtown
    Not true
    I'm still alive on the outside

    Good old Freddie Mercury is the only guy that advises me
    This time, he said if you can't beat them join them

    I've been reading about Calvary
    The crucifixion still gets to me
    I guess Golgotha means the mount of execution

    The best advice that I've gotten was from good old Johnny Rotten
    He said God Save The Queen
    He said no future for you
    No future for me

    I suppose you thought that I'd be eaten up
    By the bars or the pigs or the sheep or the studs
    I'm alive
    Except for the inside

    I suppose you thought that I'd be the first one to go
    By the bars or the pigs or the sheep or the shows
    I'm alive
    Except for the inside

    But I don't know nothing
    Except for the one thing for certain
    The devil is a person
    I met him at the Riverside Perkins

    Bedsheets for curtains
    One thing's for certain
    The devil is a person
    I met him at the Riverside Perkins
