Lyrics for Corduroy - Alternate Take

The waiting drove me mad You're finally here and I'm a mess I take your entrance back Can't let you roam inside my head I don't want to take what you can give I would rather starve than eat your bread I would rather run but I can't walk Then again whose felt this way before All of the sermon text Adds up to what might not be best A-Push me and I will resist This behavior's not unique I don't want to hear from those who know They can buy, but can't put on my hose I would lie awake for them to walk Never haven't known of me before I don't want to be held in your debt I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed I'm already cut up and half spread Left inside a hole like I began Left inside a hole Everything has chains Absolutely nothing's changed "This ain't bad, the same picture, spilled my tincture" I don't want to take what you can give I would rather starve than eat your breast All the things that others want from me Can't buy what I want because it's free Can't buy what I want because it's free Can't be what you want because I'm Ain't supposed to be just one Oh, to live and die, let it be done I figure I'll be damned All alone like I began
