[Verse 1]

You were dead by the time that I had found you

Your blood was spilled on the couch where we had first kissed

So I carried you West to the sea, so I could wash you

Your body felt just like a backpack

[Refrain]

And I don't know what they did to your face

And I don't like it

[Verse 2]

You lived large 'til the day they finally caught you

They cut out your tongue so you would not scream when you came to

And you pissed blood, and then they chained you up when you turned blue

Your body felt just like a t-shirt

[Refrain]

And I wanna build a tower to all the nicer things you could have been

But I don't like it

[Outro]

You were dead

By the time that I had found you
