You're better off telling this story
Than feeling like clay without water
So pretty and clean
So pretty and clean
Trying hard not to hate
Keep all your bad luck at bay
You feel it every day
Every day
So pretty and clean on the outside
Swamp water within
I have my sin
So have we all
Plaster me up with your spackle
Wax everything right into place
I'm stepping out onto the gangplank
And I know there's sharks out there
I am filled with dark water riches
But they're heavy and cause me to sink
I behold the stars nightly with my heart
But it's cold and dark out there
I am wasting away and it's alright
I am fading back into the night
I am dripping with love and with pain
And with pride
I've got your number
It's 99
It's 99
99
