Lyrics

[Verse 1] I had wrists donning slits, flowing constantly My broken body in a wreck and wrapped around a tree A crosswalk hit-and-run, the finish line for me People clutter in the gutter, take a look and see [Chorus] No escaping pain, you belong to me Clinging on to life by the skin of my teeth No escaping pain, you belong to me Clinging on to life by the skin of my teeth [Verse 2] My blood flows through the streets, deluge from the wounds Empty jars of sleeping pills on the dresser in my room My wet-brained neighbor cranes his neck to see In time, the white light's, a train bearing down on me [Chorus] No escaping pain, you belong to me Clinging on to life by the skin of my teeth No escaping pain, you belong to me Clinging on to life by the skin of my teeth [Guitar Solo: Marty Friedman] [Verse 3] I won't feel the hurt, I'm not trash any longer That, that doesn't kill me only makes me stronger I need a ride to the morgue, that's what 9-1-1 is for So tag my toe and don't forget, ooh, to close the drawer [Chorus] No escaping pain, you belong to me Clinging on to life by the skin of my teeth No escaping pain, you belong to me Clinging on to life by the skin of my teeth
