MUD PUDDLE

I feel like screaming
I'm trying to sit still
I'm sick of kissing
when I'd rather kill

I want to lay down in a mud puddle
put on my darkest set of shades
I want to get dirty
so everyone will stay away

If I tell the truth
to everyone I meet
you can come to my funeral
and count the empty seats

I want to lay down in a mud puddle
put on my darkest set of shades
I want to get dirty
so everyone will stay away

she said I wish I'd wake up
in a place I've never seen
put on my shoes and roam the streets
'til I'm sure there's no one there but me

I want to lay down in a mud puddle
put on my darkest set of shades
I want to get dirty
so everyone will stay away

I wish nobody had a mouth
I wish nobody had a throat
I wish everybody had an island
and nobody had a boat

I want to lay down in a mud puddle
put on my darkest set of shades
I want to get dirty
so everyone will stay away

I'm up on somebody's roof
at the end of the day
it's the same old world up here
it's just far away

I want to lay down in a mud puddle
put on my darkest set of shades
I want to get dirty
so everyone will stay away
