Well I spend my days getting murdered
With some Grouse you mighta heard of
Sucking down on dirty dreams to get me through
But these days my brains are numbed
And now it seems my days are numbered
Oh my darling, tell me what am I to do?

Well you said, “My son, it’s just begun
Because now it’s time to go”

Going down to get well city
Going down to fix my head
Gonna drink myself real silly on the way
Gonna drown in my self-pity
Gonna put my sins to bed
And I won’t come back until they fade away

See I’ve been caught by the seduction
Of tortured souls and self destruction
And I set my sights on burning out right quick
Not to mention my affection
For being the centre of attention
Stir it up and just scream and shout “That boy is sick”

Going down to get well city
Going down to fix my head
Gonna drink myself real silly on the way
Gonna drown in my self-pity
Gonna put my sins to bed
And I won’t come back until they fade away
So darling, don’t be gentle
And please don’t spare the rod
Just beat me ‘til my bones are showing through
You say my body is a temple
But I don’t believe in God
So knock it down and build me something new

Going down to get well city
Going down to fix my head
Gonna drink myself real silly on the way
Gonna drown in my self-pity
Gonna put my sins to bed
And I won’t come back until they fade away
