Well,

she said,

don't waste your words,

they're just lies

I cried, she was dead

Well, she worked on my face

Until breaking my eyes

Said, what else you got left?

Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair,

I leaned up against the Jamaican rum

When she did come, I asked her for some

And I never took much,

never asked for your crutch,
