Scared to Death

The whole thing was my idea to get you out of state
To save your mind before it's too late
Who's that hippie living in my house
Why's there a scar on your face

Nightgown in the river and only I can tell
Black hearse in the graveyard don't go over too well
Rice paper rubbings hanging on my wall
Pictures in the attic I'm scared

Everybody's staring Everybody's old

Fresh eggs and antiques won't make me feel at home
What goes on at the 511
Poison on the trees Spirits in my house
Just like the mole I'm blind

The whole thing was my idea to get you out of state
To save your mind before it's too late
Sunning at the cove I can't swim
Think I should go back to New York

Everybody's staring Everybody's old

Frail as the leaves that shiver on a spray
I'll just take a minute
Like them we flourish Like them we decay
I'll just take a minute

I'm afraid I'm really really scared
Don't let this happen to me
I'm afraid I'm really really scared
You let this happen to me
