when you haven't got any sense
and a sick ghastly pallor
well the poor kid never had a chance
and people heard that you're dead
you haven't left the city yet
so even if it takes every white blood cell
when you haven't got any friends
and the pharmacist recommends
a b complex for this condition
you haven't left the city yet
so even if it takes every white blood cell
when the amtrak speeds by
close our eyes and pretend
that it's going to hit us
