His eyes are wide

Verse 11

She moves to put her clothes back on

But he won't let her go

He lies her down

His eyes are wide

Verse 12

And lightly, like a lover,

Sammy lets his lips caress the

leather of her breast

His brain is numb

Verse 13

Moved by some far distant mind

He makes himself her bride- groom

Sammy's hardly there at all

His brain is numb

Verse 14

She moves to take him in now

But her hand finds him still slack

So she sucks to make him hard

And then again lies on her back

Verse 15

And Sammy does the deed to silent

screaming in his skull

The scars surround him

Is this all real?

Verse 16

Schizophrenic, Sammy sees himself

Outside his body and his brain
