A Better Man
I hope you're breathing well and made it through the flight ; I hope you learn to sleep with all these flashing lights ; I hope your feet don't hurt, I hope they treat you nice ; I hope your teeth won't crack from chewing all this ice ; I hear you lost some weight, I bet you're feeling small ; I hear you did not hear anything at all ; I hear you're already here and you're not letting go ; I hear and can see quite clear how it ends up in tears, how it ends up in so and so... ; And please wake up a better man ; I know you want it too ; Turn the rust back into sand ; Please wake up a better man ; Or else just let me through ; I hope you can ; So let the bed bugs bite 'till they blood-let the night ; And when morning comes, let up, let down, put up a hell of a fight ; Hold still, if you will, try to think it through ; Hold still - it's just a thrill, the joy of killing you're addicted to ; Hold still - for what you spill is best served chilled but has no use ; So please wake up a better man, ; I know you want it too ; Turn the rust back into sand ; Please wake up a better man ; Or else just let me through ; I hope you can;
