[Verse 1]
Another hungover morning
In the bottom of the Black Lagoon
Purgatory disguised
As a room with a view
I used to be in Heaven looking down
Now I know the inferno from the inside
[Chorus]
And you can't see out them windows
And smoke gets in your eyes
And eyes just wanna cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry
[Verse 2]
An obscene, sprawling landscape of nothing
And Nothing is it's middle name
Meet you on the corner of Nothing and Nowhere
Where in hell is that?
So flat, you can't see ten feet in front
I want everything to disappear
Give me an isolation tank
Make a withdrawal from my blood bank
[Chorus]
And you can't see out them windows
And smoke gets in your eyes
And eyes just wanna cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry
[Verse 3]
Give me another stiff one, and make it a double
I don't know when I've had enough
But I've never had enough, and I've never been bad enough
I need it, and I need it bad
And if it ain't bad, it ain't worth having
I ain't the most popular boy, I know
That's common knowledge in this town
I'm trying hard to DIY
But everything is broken down
[Chorus]
And you can't see out the windows
And smoke gets in your eyes
And eyes just wanna cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry
Cry...
[Bridge 1]
Glory, glory, hallelujah
You get what's coming to ya
You get a stomach tumor
You get a stake right through your heart
[Verse 4]
I recognize thee Satan, and I spit in thine face
Whatever happened to the human race?
What happened to the humanistic faith?
What happens to human waste?
I wanna get the hell out, but there ain't much hope of that
Fallen into the abyss like a roach in a trap
There ain't no hope in Hades
There ain't no hope in Hell
There ain't no hope in Hades
There ain't no hope in Hell
[Verse 5]
I don't need a mother no more
I'd rather be an orphan or a son of bitch
Or a bastard son who's been dug up dead
Worms in eye sockets, holes in ma head
Don't excavate if you ain't diggin' for gold
Cause it's a long way up when you're six feet under
Under a pile of human debris
A life fulla lies and shit and rubble
You wanna save yourself the trouble
[Chorus]
And you can't see out them windows (No!)
And smoke gets in your eyes (Eyes!)
And eyes just wanna cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry
Cry...
[Bridge 1]
Glory, glory, hallelujah
You get what's coming to ya
You get a stomach tumor
You get a stake right through your heart
[Bridge 2]
It isn't very pretty what a town without pity can do
[Verse 6]
Starin' into a waste of space
Bring on the monotony, bring on the lobotomy
And make it a double, and make it a pact
I've had more than I can stand
An hors d'oeuvre of maniac
I've had more fun in an iron lung
I'm cancelling my next birthday
I mo wait 'til the witching hour
Then watch my life come tumblin' down
The moon's so full it's spillin over
There ain't no hope in Hades
There ain't no hope in Hell
[Bridge 2]
It isn't very pretty what a town without pity can do
[Chorus]
And you can't see out the windows
And smoke gets in your eyes
And eyes just wanna cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry
Cry...
[Bridge 1]
Glory, glory, hallelujah
You get what's coming to ya
You get a stake right through ya, through ya
You get a stake right through your heart
[Bridge 2]
It isn't very pretty what a town without pity can do
No, It ain't very pretty what a town without pity can do
