SUSPENDED ANIMATION

Oh, another long-ass wasted day

with my life on ice,

my dreams on hold and I'm feelin' fuckin' old

and it ain't n-i-c-e

'cause my back hurts and life's a pain in the ass...

and all this doin' nothin' wears me out

and it's tiresome to behold

and, man, it gets old: this strife,

this Requiem for a Loser

this utter frustration, this suspended animation

this sorry excuse for a life

with no anticipation of a decent destination

and no expectation of my true salvation...

just blase time...ticking away,

day after day

waiting for the wind to kick up in these

meaningless doldrums on an ocean of tears

where rocky shores are lined with wrecked dreams

and Davy Jones' locker holds my aspirations

in this awful combination of suspended animation

and vile intoxication...

I peer out the window and spit at the traffic

and maybe moon a cop,

jump on my Harley - see how fast it goes

and I won't stop...

'til the engine blows!

But meanwhile,

in my suspended animation,

my mundane vegetation,

this horrible miscalculation....

I'll relax, and enjoy myself

'cause I like my new medication!

Now I don't feel like killing myself...

I feel like killin' the whole damn nation!
