When I spend too much time alone, I get afraid 
Afraid that you're gonna leave me breathing 
Afraid of what they'd throw in the way 
In the way of something simple like leaving 

"Forgive me if you can," said the sad cashier 
"For the dollars and cents our love has become. 
I didn't sell you anything my dear 
You were a scarecrow looking for a bonfire to sleep on." 

"Believe me if you can," said the pile of bones 
"I think that this is all there is left to see. 
Just waiting for my perscription to come 
‘Cause every sec in hell dissolves more of me." 

And all of heaven's ten thousand whores 
Are on a partyline to his big toe 
Singing Ooooo I just can't do it anymore 
So don't bother asking now you know 

Don't bother me with little things 
Pennies, nickels, quarters, and dimes 
They've all taken me as far as I'm gonna go 
So don't bother asking now you know 
Believe me if you can
