  • It's a junkie dream makes you so uptight
    Yeah it's Halloween tonight and every night
    Hear you scratch your skin
    Your sandpaper throat

    You're a symphony, man, with one fucking note
    How they beat you up week after week
    And when you grow up you're going to be a freak
    Want a violent girl who's not scared of anything

    Help me kill my time
    'Cause I'll never be fine
    Help me kill my time
    You went down to look at old Dallas town

    Where you must be sick just to hang around
    Seen it on TV how to kill your man
    Then like Gacy's scene a canvas in your hand
    You better call your mom she's out looking for you

    In the jail and the army and the hospital too
    But those people there couldn't do anything for you
    Help me kill my time
    'Cause I'll never be fine

    Help me kill my time
    Help me kill my time
    Help me kill my time
    'Cause I'll never be fine

    Help me kill my time Writer/s: Steven Paul Smith
