By the way that you picked up the phone
I could tell that you weren't gonna die
February is about as long as it is wide

I guess that I've been getting pretty good with it
Trying hard not to get too obsessed with it
I guess I shouldn't have been surprised

I guess that I was pretty much prepared for it
I was just stuck in my own sense of time
Rigid and depressed, needy, halfway-pissed, and resigned

Parking lots and the office talk
They punch my card at the coffee shop
I'm pretty sure we're all gonna die
I'm pretty sure we're all gonna die

I suppose you thought that I'd be shaken up
I suppose you thought I'd be gushing blood
Not true, I only died on the inside

And I suppose you thought that I'd be taken out
Back behind one of those bars downtown
Not true, I'm still alive on the outside

Good ol' Freddie Mercury
Is the only guy that advises me
And this time, he said, 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
And I've been reading about the Calvary
The crucifixion still gets to me
I guess Golgotha means the mount of execution

The best advice that I've ever gotten
Was from good old Johnny Rotten
He said "God save the Queen"
He said "No future for you, no future for me"

I suppose you thought that I'd be eaten up
By the bars or the pigs or the sheep or the studs
I'm alive, except for the inside

I suppose you thought that I'd be the first one to go
By the bars or the pigs or the sheep or the shows
I'm alive, except for the inside

But I don't know nothing
Except for one thing for certain
The devil's a person
I met him at the Riverside Perkins

Bedsheets for curtains
One thing's for certain
The devil's a person
I met him at the Riverside Perkins
Bedsheets for curtains
