hold my hand
and tell me I'm not dead
just like the ones before you did
if I seem controlling
it's cuz you asked me to control myself
pour myself into a glass
and the glass hits the floor
if I'm self defeating it's cuz you asked me to defeat myself
and if this loneliness is killing you, honey
kill yourself
I can feel you fuckin' him
through the power lines
you wanna know if I'm lonely
but you gotta know where I am
I went down, down the black cat tunnel
all the way down
where the tide is in
and the flame flickers out
you gotta know if I'm lonely
but you gotta know where I am
ahh, if it's not where you are, honey
you don't give a damn
if I seem controlling it's cuz you asked me to control myself
if I'm self defeating it's cuz you asked me to defeat myself
ahh, and if my lovin' ain't good enough for ya, honey
you can go fuck yourself
