VerseWhile you were reCading the black biFble in the sCun
I was half dAmrunk out the window of a Fmoving city bus
WGilder than the devCil, like a tFiger in the brush
GLouder than an atCom bomb that Fonly you could hush
GSpinning like the ECarth and Moon, but neFver really touched
AloGne, the ways I waCnted to be lovFed
GYou were not enoCughF...C.
While your head was bowed and hFands praying to GCod
I was sAmwinging from the chandeliers like soFme endangered animal
SGomewher? in New COrleans on the rFun
Lik? I juGst won the lCottery, with FGod-knows-what inside of me
GHair a mess and sChoelaces undoGne
Of aGll the ways I Cwanted youF
YGou were not the oCne.F...C.VerseWhile they were teCaching you how MFoses split the sCea
I was in an aiAmrplane bathrGoom doing sFpeedballs off the sink
GHigh as any anCgel moving Fat the speed of sound
GSomeplace over GCermany, Fmoving through the clouds
GWinking back at steCwardesses, supplFying me with ale
GBig-hooped golden earrCings staying aFt the same hotel
Of aGll the ways I waCnted you to hoFld me
GI could not be hCeldF...C.
While you were Cwaiting for the dFoctor in the cChair
I was sAmtoned riding the cyclone at the OFnslow County Fair
The stGars above us sparCkled like they diFdn't pay the bill
GSmokes behind the haCunted house, chuFgging stolen beers
GCotton candy kiCsses underneaFth the ferris wheel
GOf all the ways you wCanted me to feeFl
GI could never hCeal
While you were wCaiting in the dFepot for the trCain
I was asAmleep on stolen cargo in the bFack of someone's plane
GHalfway back from FClorida from CuFba in the rain
GLow enough to feeCl the water frFom the spraying waves
UnderGneath the radar hCauling crates oFf pure *******
HGung over and lauCghing high abFove The Everglades
GOf all the ways I Cwanted to be tameFd
GI was just insCane

VerseWhile you were wCaiting in the loFbby for your mCan
I was Amworking at the circus as a gFarbage man
GRemembering that wiCnter you were iFn a long black coat
I'm at hoGme with the animCals, kniFfe at my own throat
You hGear the bells of freCedom, but the chaFins all just say "nope"
If GI was the TitaCnic, you were piFnk clouds and blue smoke
GRising over HemiCngway and in an oFld man's fishing boat
Of Gall the things I wCanted you to bFe
Of Gall the things I wiCsh that you were nFow
GYou were not arouCnd.F...C...F...G...C...F...C...Am....F.
GYou were not arouCnd.F...C.
