THRONE OF AGONY

Hello, operator... give me no man’s land
Collect call to no one at all
Been yelling into an empty closet to the point of no return
(and no deposit)
Fiddling and watching while Rome burns
A roll of the dice: the worm turns

Hello, central... give me no man’s land
From a walking waste disposal unit
A transfusion from me'd kill the faint of heart

Alas poor Yorick,I knew me well
But I been killing my brain cell by cell
It only takes a bullet to make the worm turn
And this one's for you...

The toll is belling... the signs is telling
Nose is running... feet are smelling
Currently less than a human wreck
Gimme a break... start at the neck

I rule my body from the throne of agony
My conscience and constitution's nagging me
Clock up another tracheotomy
Stab another dagger in the back of me
The dark gods burnt my evil soul
My brittle spirit's turned to coal
I rule my body from the throne of agony
The throne of agony
Agony

Chalk up another frozen pizza
Choke up another thousand Marlboros
Anything goes for them ordinary Joes
They'll cut off your face to spite your nose
I don't need to touch their toes to know I've already reached my all time low
Pacing ruts in a carpet
Eating up the wallpaper, crawling the walls
Sick on the ceiling
Dead in the head
Shut the shutters... I should’ve stayed in bed

Complaining 'bout my campaign against personal decency
I got no excuses
Rules wrapped in barbed wire, laced with busted glass
(Yeah, I'm the one who gave the sandwich to Mama Cass)

I rule my body from the throne of agony
My conscience and constitution's nagging me
Clock up another tracheotomy
Stab another dagger in the back of me
The dark gods burnt my evil soul
My brittle spirit's turned to coal
I rule my body from the throne of agony
The throne of agony
Agony

Stoke up and poke up my funeral pyre
And watch my life flicker before your very eyes
With no commercial breaks... no brakes
Nb Brakes... (kill me baby)

Pour another glass of liquid clear
King alcohol
Drinking hard to not remember what I'd just as soon forget
String around the finger... rope around the neck
You always hate the one you love
Time dies when you're having fun
I'm gonna change ma name... I'm changing trains... (kill me baby)

I'm on the throne of agony
Conscience is nagging me
Put up another tracheotomy
Stab another dagger in the back of me
The dark gods burnt my evil soul
My brittle spirit's turned to coal
I rule my body from the throne of agony
The throne of agony
Agony
