Take Another Shape

Track eleven from Bitch, Don’t Let Me Die!.

Lyrics

Of all the places I could be right now
You are the one I’d rather be

For all the faces I’ve seen some how
Try to attach themselves to me

Now I’m underneath, the girl with the teeth
Brushing hair that isn’t there
Pull back the sheets
And I declare

Don’t let me die
In a hell-scape
A medical hell-scape
Without the dollars I came in with

I’ll take another shape
Descend from a great ape
And bless the spades we’ve dug in with

Before anyone can make the first cut
Accept the terms and conditions
It’s such a shame that we can make things up
Because of silly, silly traditions

Now the lady learns
That it’s my turn
As I burn through her millions
Let me visit her mouth
Before it goes all south

Don’t let me die
In a hell-scape
A medical hell-scape
Without the dollars I came in with

I’ll take another shape
Descend from a great ape
And bless the spades we’ve dug in with

Prop me up on flimsy boards
Get me to the helicopter
I do not seek rewards
I merely seek the doctor

And let me move towards
The light I’m moving t’wards
And I shall rock her!

Don’t let me die
I do not seek rewards
The light I’m moving t’wards
It’s visible at night
When you see me on the television
Remember it was my decision
To cut the chord with this life
Using a plastic knife!
Using a plastic knife!
Knife, knife, knife, knife, knife!
