I conquered my own childhood silence and now
the world is my lit confessional marquee,
But it'd take a busload of high school soccer
girls to wash those hospitals off me
Oh, am I clean?
Nineteen.
They said sex will keep you young and make
you older at the same time,
They said sex will have left
you aged normally,
And so I guess it's sorta like smoking
and walking at the same time
In that it will have left you aged normally
Oh, am I clean?
Lord, please, why me?
I wish I could feel close to some
body but I don't feel nothing.
Now they say I need to quit doing all
this random ffff-
And there's other one's peeping
through the slits in my curtains
And I never got a name for
my shady compulsion
'Cause i messed up and kissed my
shrink in a jersey city hotel room.
And I know saying all this in public
should make me feel funny,
But ya gotta yell something out
you'd never tell nobody.
We found the dead fox, and a dozen matchbox cars,
when we cut back the hedges on Cortelyou place,
How many got lost left so long they grew moss 'cause
they recoiled into the shadows of my embrace?
