lyrics

Thought my demons were exorcised
But I was just giving them exercise
Thought I got a brand new lease on life
But I was looking at the world through a dead man's eyes
You can call me Ahmed Johnson
Because you know that I'm taking that Pearl River Plunge
That Pearl River Plunge
It looks like a mighty fine place to swim
And the ice cold water gonna freeze my sins

Crazy little bastard's moving faster all the time
He longs to burn the bridge between his body and his mind
Well I don't know just where I'm going, babe
Won't you keep me in your heart?
Every day I'm getting older
And another day closer to falling apart

Deep fry my heart when I'm dead
Use my guts to butter your bread
Squeeze all the juices from my brain
And rearrange all the letters in my name
Elephant bones shining in the moonlight
I can't sleep because my skin don't fit right
Sit tight as the day turns black
I'm gonna walk into the night and I'm never coming back

Crazy little bastard's moving faster all the time
He longs to burn the bridge between his body and his mind
Well I don't know just where I'm going, babe
Won't you keep me in your heart?
Every day I'm getting older
And another day closer to falling apart

Crazy little bastard's moving faster all the time
He longs to burn the bridge between his body and his mind
Well I don't know just where I'm going, babe
Won't you keep me in your heart?
Every day I'm getting older
And another day closer to falling apart

Every day I'm getting older
And another day closer to falling apart
