He'd bring her his drugs
Grow up and blow away
And a shovel for the mud
He'd get her a typewriter

If he were not knee-deep in mud
Blue to gray
If this is the life

Why does it feel so good to die today?
First double-cross her heart
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Grow up and blow away
She always thought she would not
He wants to start a family
Blue to gray

If he were not knee-deep in mud
Grow up and blow away
And a shovel for the mud
Why does it feel so good to die today?
If she weren't writing in blood
Grow up and blow away
If this is the life
Blue to gray

Grow up and blow away

First double-cross her heart

He'd bring her his drugs
If this is the life
Blue to gray

Grow up and blow away
What was the easy way?
If this is the life
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away
Blue to gray
Why does it feel so good to die today?
If this is the life
Nobody knows which street to take
He'd get her a typewriter

Grow up and blow away
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Grow up and blow away
Her body is the baby
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray

She'd bring him her jokes, a new liver
Needing something to go on
From the womb to the holiday

If she weren't writing in blood
If this is the life
Floating the rent, two by two
She'd bring him her jokes, a new liver
He took the easy way

First double-cross her heart
Blue to gray

He wants to start a family

Grow up and blow away
He wants to start a family

Blue to gray
There is no holiday
Blue to gray
