[Verse 1]
Your mother hung herself in the National Theater
When she was four months pregnant with your sister
Who would've been thirteen years old today
Does that make you feel any less alone in the world?
[Verse 2]
Your dad, I'm sure, he tried his best
He thought you'd be better off living with your grandmother
He didn't realize that she had already given up
Baby, your family, they are just losers
[Chorus]
I become such a wolf around you
My thoughts go dark and all out of focus
Have no peace in my mind
Because you, you've touched me
[Verse 3]
The screech owls are going insane outside my house
It is the season for trouble and self destruction
All of my friends, they are falling apart
But not me, I'm in control
[Verse 4]
Remember the exquisite corpse that we created together?
We laughed at the time, it seemed so impenetrable
But reading it now I think I understand
What it is that we are trying to steal from each other
[Chorus]
I become such a wolf around you
My thoughts go dark and all out of focus
Have no peace in my mind
Because you, you've touched me
