The Hopes & Dreams Of Heaven's 10,000 Whores

When I spend too much time alone, I get afraid



Afraid that you're gonna leave me breathing



Afraid of what they'd throw in the way



In the way of something simple like leaving



"Forgive me if you can", said the sad cashier



"For the dollars and cents our love has become



I didn't sell you anything my dear



You were a scarecrow looking for a bonfire to sleep on"



"Believe me if you can", said the pile of bones



"I think that this is all there is left to see



Just waiting for my prescription to come



'Cause every sec in hell dissolves more of me"



And all of heaven's ten thousand whores



Are on a partyline to his big toe



Singing, "Ooh I just can't do it anymore



So don't bother asking now you know"



Don't bother me with little things



Pennies, nickels, quarters, and dimes



They've all taken me as far as I'm gonna go



So don't bother asking now you know



Believe me if you can
