You were dead
By the time that I had found you
Your blood was spilled
On the couch where we had first kissed
So I carried you west
To the sea so I could wash you

Your body felt just like a back pack

And I don't know
What they did to your face
And I don't like it

You lived large
Til the day they finally caught you
They cut out your tongue so you would not scream
When you came to
And you pissed blood
And then they chained you up
When you turned blue

Your body felt just like a t-shirt

And I wanna build a tower
To all the nicer things you could have been
But I don't like it

You were dead
By the time that I had found you
