lyrics

something occured to me today
as i filled an ashtray
a beautiful song to good for the radio
dying to leave the room
you spin into another life
you slip into a different realm

the opiates run races with your pain
chemotherapy, it's your payday
so much to do, so much to say
so many good things dying to come your way
you really DIG being alive!
It's incredibly sweet but you're gonna die

birds smashing into windows
repeatedly again
your releatives are here, some of them are in tears
holding flowers and boxes of milk tray
so much to do within your life
cos you really DIG being alive!

something occured to me today
and then i went astray
there's nothing i can do
nothing i can say
now your world is looking badly out of shape
as you slip into your other life
the bird at my window chose to die

there's a time and a place for a joke
but all i wanna do is shoot some dope
a man walks into the room
eating tinned fruit with a plastic spoon
the man from Del Monte says "yes"...
you must die quite soon

the opiates run races with your pain
now all i wanna do is lose my brain...
