[Verse 1]
Connect the cable
Have sex a lot
A hostile climate clouds and sickens you
Two room condo, treeless cul-de-sac
A nun's dark habit
All arm, no follow through

[Bridge 1]
As a favor to me
As a place to go
As a favor to me
Little stitch to sew

[Verse 2]
Loose leaf paper
At a loss for words
A can of dinner
Hard to get a rise
Hook up the Sega
Have sex alone
Stick a fork in a socket
Still it's no surprise

[Bridge 2]
I think I'm coming unplugged
I just scratch and shrug
Itches in my teeth
As a favor to me
[Chorus]
I can't watch you all the time
Much as I would like to
As I think I ought to
It's hard to argue for this life
Harder still without you
Don't make me survive you

[Verse 3]
Ripe fruit falls from the tree so bare
Dead in sunshine, decomposing there
Spoiled and keeping
Keeping tracks to pick
Fitful sleeping
Were you never sick?

[Bridge 3]
Another mouth to feed
As a favor to me
As a need to need
As a favor to me

[Chorus]
I can't watch you all the time
Much as I would like to
As I think I ought to
It's hard to argue for this life
Harder still without you
Don't make me survive you
[Verse 4]
Warm and sated
The walls get interesting
Don't know what they're saying
Perhaps they're listening
So I stopped talking to hear the pins drop
I'm in the back room so I won't hear you knock
