Amen - BURNING RUBBER lyrics

[originally recorded by Teenage Jesus and the Jerks,

lyrics by Lydia Lunch]

The leaves are dead

The door's always closed

The garbage screams at my feet

I want to be alone

The sand has washed away

The sea it must have ate it

The cement glows grey

And I begin to like it

The dishes are cracked

The forks are plastic

The food is in cellophane

And I puke elastic
