Gotta get out of here before the rain comes in, even though you swear up and down you're my friend,
Parting - always sweet, sweet sorrow,
Thank God I won't have to wake up with you tomorrow.

In the middle of this long, drawn out session,
In the middle of your gathering depression,
Pardon me if I interpose a question big as Christ, smaller than your life.

I don't know why I feel such great dissatisfaction,
Maybe I don't stand in the place where I work and take affirmative action.
Lately when I sleep around it's a come and go reaction,
I've been victimised, hypnotised by the latest distraction.

In the middle of this long, drawn out session,
In the middle of your gathering depression,
Pardon me if I interpose a question big as Christ, smaller than your life.

See, I have no motivation, I have no any drive,
I've got no hunger fascination for the finer things in life,
My friends say they're so happy, friends say they're well fed,
They're well drugged, laid, and entertained,
So beautiful, deadly boring.

In the middle of this long, drawn out session,
In the middle of your gathering depression,
Pardon me if I interpose a question big as Christ, smaller than your life.

Big as Christ.

Can't you see the landmines so well placed'
Underneath the skin, set to go off in your face,
How can I hear your voice with the noise in my head'
The clamour for attention of the dying and the dead,
Hey, can I come in my chains' Can I come empty handed'
Can I come empty hearted and say you demand it'
Lie to myself, and it's long overdue,
Try to make myself believe the truth isn't true.

In the middle of this long, drawn out session,
In the middle of your gathering depression,
Pardon me if I interpose a question big as Christ and smaller than my life.
