lyrics

I am ready to die, oh yes I am
Nothing matters to me anymore
I swam down the river to die

You look so unwell
I just want to see you happy again
Though it brings me pain
I am trying to be honest with you

I am ready to die, oh yes I am
Nothing matters to me anymore
I swam down the river to die

You look like someone
That I used to know from way back home
Nevermind all that
Tonight let's just try to have some fun

I am ready to die, oh yes I am
Nothing matters to me anymore
I swam down the river to die
You thought you could save me and

Jumped right into the water
And swam right towards me
But it was too late
I sank like a rock to the bottom
Till my feet touched the ground

Then into the bedroom, you walked away
All dressed in linen
And I fell apart,
Sitting by your bedroom window
Drawing spaceships on my arms

Little green plastic bags
Float all around this city
And the head of a goat
Sits on the steps of
Anyone who wears their shoes to bed
