Lyrics
I gotta choke chain
Made on a night train
To keep your memory down
In quicksand from the main man
To drown everything out
Fool around on the joy ride*
Fucked up from inside*
Always at a dead stall
From sticking pins into miniature men
Who can't feel it at all
See you later, see you later if I see you at all
See you later
I walked through thick mud
Looking for new blood
Thinking I heard your name
Cruel imagination
Still giving me pain
Just to find you with your
Master..minder
Rrunning your affairs
Seeing how he loves you now
Well let me show you how much I care
See you later, see you later if I see you at all
See you later, see you later if I see you at all, etc
The line with the * is clearly different than that in the Heatmiser album
version and a couple of the other words have been changed around a bit but
otherwise it's pretty faithful to the original
