I'm all smoked out from burning too much
I had to lie back and block the fumes out
The clouds tried to cover me
But the wind blew the sunlight to burn me
I'll be a murderess if I stay here
And I can't survive much longer
In this terrifying burst of smoke
So I think I'll tell a lie so I can be excused

I'm all filled up with experience
I've got to detoxify before I burst
You tried to clean off the residue
But it's under my skin like a tattoo
I'll be a murderess if I don't scream
And I can't survive much longer
Without expelling days of the past
So I think I'll buy a microphone, something that will listen to me

I'm all dried up from running too hard
I need to catch my breath before I black out
The girls came and tried to give me a drink
But it smelled of poison so I dropped the glass
I'll be a murderess if I don't breathe
And I can't survive much longer
On these endless days of the chase
So I think I'll buy a rowboat and row myself somewhere else
