The Hopes and Dreams of Heaven¡¯s 10,000 Whores

When I spend too much time alone, I get afraid
Afraid that you¡¯re gonna leave me breathing
Afraid of what they¡¯d throw in the way
In the way of something simple like leaving
";Forgive me if you can,"; said the sad cashier
";For the dollars and cents our love has become.
I didn¡¯t sell you anything my dear
You were a scarecrow looking for a bonfire to sleep on.";
";Believe me if you can,"; said the pile of bones
";I think that this is all there is left to see.
Just waiting for my perscription to come
¡®Cause every sec in hell dissolves more of me.";
And all of heaven¡¯s ten thousand whores
Are on a partyline to his big toe
Singing Ooooo I just can¡¯t do it anymore
So don¡¯t bother asking now you know
Don¡¯t bother me with little things
Pennies, nickels, quarters, and dimes
They¡¯ve all taken me as far as I¡¯m gonna go
So don¡¯t bother asking now you know
Believe me if you can
