Lyrics
Lyrics: [by Jay Melder]
I find myself up on a shelf
But like the same little frames that hold us all together
And I know I should move, but my bones fit the grooves
And right now I like the sound of sitting here forever
And it's such a shame that it all has to change
But for a while I wear a smile cuz after all it suits me
Take a breath, sit and wait for death
And pray at that day they give me more my six feet
[Chorus]
We came, she said, we saw, hey
Now you tell me just what I need
Now I'm broken, fallen down on my knees
Tell me baby could you cure my disease
Dot all my i's and would you cross all my t's?
We came, she said, we saw
Tap tap, a place on a map
And who cares if I share a little slice of my space
Just a plot, just a teeny tiny spot
But it's mine and it's mine but any less is a disgrace
In ain't the abby but it ain't too shabby
So stop by to say goodbye
But I really know you should be on your way
So by tonight I should have seen my last rite
So say a prayer, what do I care?
Just don't come spitting on my grave
[Chorus]
We came, she said, we saw
Now you tell me just what I need, hey
Now I'm fallen, broken down on my knees
Tell me baby could you cure my disease
Dot all my i's and would you cross all my t's?
We came, she said, we saw
Baby baby, look under the sheets
You know it's me don't you recognize the teeth
A battle lost before it begun
But they said when they found me I was clenching my gun
And I said, sergeant, sergeant, fashion police!
Olive drab doesn't look good on me
Baby baby you could hear what a friend
And tell me this life was more than just a means to an end
[Chorus]
We came, she said, we saw
Now you tell me just what I need
Now I'm fallen, broken down on my knees
Tell me baby could you cure my disease
Dot all my i's and would you cross all my t's? Hey hey
We came, she said, we saw
