It All Dies Anyway (1988 Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, once, once is really something Twice, it's never enough, no For one last time I'm gonna tell you Come over here, I got something I'd like to say Once, yeah, once is real easy Then twice, just to tease for a little more For one more time I wanna ask you Come over here, 'cause I've got something on my mind [Chorus] It may seem easy for you to recognize a world you dеny But when it comes back round, well Was dеath the only way to get attention? [Verse 2] Once, once will seem real easy Then twice came back and it got a little rough And then it goes there in the middle And I was by myself like before And once, oh, once is real conniving It's easy now when you're having a little beer You step in my way, well, now I have a little more to say I got just a little more [Chorus] It may seem easy for you to penetrate a world [?] But when it cuts back round Well, death is a sick way for attention, yeah [Bridge] Oh, they cut the cord, yeah It cuts everything that's living in me Oh, it all dies anyway Yeah, I thought that that might disappear But you penetrate, the will to deny And then I'm standing in the dark all over again Oh, lie on me, that's all I want, you to lie on me Oh, why did I see the bird on the sidewalk today? Split open inside and why do I hear the birds When they're squawking over my head? Don't let me down, no, no, don't come down on me 'Cause I just want to know I need just a little more time to breathe, to breathe, yeah [Chorus] Cause once, once is really something And twice, just a tease for a little more Yeah, one last time I want you to walk over here And sit down, I've got somethin' I've got somethin' special to get out Once, once is real conniving And twice, you're just asking for a little more This one more time, I'm gonna need you, yeah, I can tell Ow! [Outro] It may seem easy for you to recognize the world you deny But when it cuts back round Is death is the sickest way for attention? Well, I think there's a little more to be said
