[Verse 1]
Now you and I have passed
Through hell and high tide
And I've begun to notice you
Still have a few things that you'd rather hide
Oh, darling, this won't do
[Verse 2]
For all the springtimes
All the summers that lay scattered
In darkened tripes
All that's spoiled and sullen, I
Performed all kinds of punishments
With kind expressions and butter knives
And yet
This is the thanks I get
[Chorus]
Don't say it's painful, I've heard it all before
So, we aren't children anymore?
Don't come any closer, don't tell me what you saw
Please show me mercy, my radium jaw
[Verse 3]
What use is a body broken?
What use is a mass of lifeless dregs?
Lay down and spread your arms open for
Kids playing with insects, pulling legs
[Verse 4]
And nothing changed since the Bronze Age
Well, you've mastered new ways to waste your breath
Your secret's etched in old tablets
In other words, love
You're gonna bore me to death
[Chorus]
Don't say it's painful, I've heard it all before
So, we aren't children anymore?
Don't come any closer, don't tell me what you saw
Please show me mercy, my radium jaw
Don't say it's painful, I've heard it all before
So, we aren't children anymore?
Don't come any closer, don't tell me what you saw
Please show me mercy, my radium jaw
