Take it wild, take it fast
Bringin' you headaches and all those mental sores
Ashes to ashes and six feet under, face down in a box
It's coming from another with a mother who's just like yours
Your bad luck follows you like a heart attack
Didn't I meet you once in a liquor store?
Bringing gifts for a boy who's five years
Where'd ya ever learn to treat me like that, that, that?
I don't remember you from any of those books
I think I saw you hangin' by the stage door
Well, I don't remember you from any of those books
Well, you must be, have to be one of these
You never gave yourself a chance
You don't seem to have any of that family stuff
You know the hardwood floors and all that penniless rough
Hidin' under, on the shade of your family tree
Where'd ya ever learn to treat me like that?
Twist your fingers, soon as break your back
Like the needy and the greedy always seem by themselves
I don't remember you from any of those books
Devised a role, too proud to run, so you don't mistreat her
Looking for rocks and training wheels
Ashes to ashes and six feet under, face down in a box
Take a little, have some, need some for yourself
Ashes to ashes and six feet under, face down in a box
Handing out programs to the family theaters, feeders
