C#It's a juG#nkie drC#eam makes you so uptight
Yeah it'G#s HalloweeC#n tonight and every night
Hear you G#scratC#ch your skin your sandpaper throat
You'G#re a symphoC#ny man with one fucking note
ChaG#rlie beat C#you up week after week
And G#when yoC#u grow up you're going to be a freak

You went down to look at old Dallas town
Where you must be sick just to hang around
Seen it on TV how to kill your man
Then like Gacy's scene a canvas in your hand
You better call your mom she's out looking for you
In the jail and the army and the hospital too
But those people there couldn't do anything for you
Help me kill my time
Cause I'll never be fine
Help me kill my time
Help me kill my time
Help me kill my time
Cause I'll never be fine
Help me kill my time
