[Intro]
Oh!

[Verse 1]
You could live
In the shadows
You could call them
Your friends
But then all
They'll allow you
Is a scantily-clad
Skeleton

[Chorus]
I anticipate your deep concern
Believe me, all my bridges burned
Long ago, I reveled
In that loathsome deed
So from upper rooms and empty tombs
Love's fallen down on me
So, you see, I do not need
Your sympathy

[Verse 2]
Got a tongue
Like a serpent
And you speak with
With a hiss
And you lie
Through your gold teeth
And your friends
They're pathetic
[Chorus]
I anticipate your deep concern
Believe me, all my bridges burned
Long ago, I reveled
In that loathsome deed
So from upper rooms and empty tombs
Love's fallen down on me
So, you see, I do not need
Your sympathy

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Saw you out
Among the patients
When they took you all out
For a walk
You tried to grab me, grab me through the chain link
But my dad says I really
I shouldn't talk

[Chorus]
I anticipate your deep concern
Believe me, all my bridges burned
Long ago, I reveled
In that loathsome deed
So from upper rooms and empty tombs
Love's fallen down on me
So, you see, I do not need
Your sympathy
[Guitar Solo]
