Cruel

Oh, you don't ease my pain

Under cover to cover
A book of perfect matches
Smoked out lovers
Nicotine patches

The smell of fresh tar
A road crew's fire
A swan vesta eyes
A police car named desire

Though that we were getting on just famously
Just a drag for you, it's the pack for me

Oh, you don't ease my pain
You're cruel
Oh, you don't ease my pain
You're cruel

Over counter to counter
And don't you feel better
A sick note cherished
More like a love letter

Come on codeine
No mojo, no hunger
Remember how I used to be
A sexy midnight runner

Never can get it up, so I just get down
Take a little white pill, it'll see me around

Oh, you don't ease my pain
You're cruel
Oh, you don't ease my pain
You're cruel
(You're so damn cruel)
Oh, you don't ease these maladies
That follow me each day
Oh, you don't ease my pain
(You're so damn cruel)

The sex and the drugs and the dot, dot, dot
(Oh, you don't ease my pain)
When did my saucepot become a sore spot?
(Oh, you don't ease my pain)
There's no such thing as sobriety
(Oh, it don't ease my pain)
No relationship like dependency
No decency, just cruelty

Oh, you don't ease my pain
You're cruel
Oh, you don't ease my pain
You're cruel
Oh, you don't ease these maladies
That follow me each day
Oh, you don't ease my pain
(You're so damn cruel)

There's nothing romantic about it
(Your cruel, cruel heart)
