lyrics
I just lost my father
Said he didn't understand me
Said I'm breaking up the family
Got no responsibility
I just told my woman
Said she could no longer wait for me
She said it's better now than gradually
She spoke painstakingly
I just lost all feeling
Like the world crashing down on me
Like I'm falling off a balance beam
Things ain't like they ought to be
I'm dissected by a line
Punctures my heart, trips up my mind
Come on Lord, you're running out of time
I just called my momma
Asking what she thought of me
Said that she ached for me
Said she would pray for me
So then I called my master
That omniscient super being
To come and set things right for me
I just hope he acts swiftly
I'm dissected by a line
Punctures my heart, trips up my mind
Come on Lord, you're running out of time
Come on Lord
Can't you make me happy?
