--------------------------------------

We used to sit and talk about primsl scream

To exorcise our past was our adolescent dream

But now it's sink or swim since your memory fails

Now in Neptune's kitchen you will be food for killer whales

And on the crucifix his mother made

Hangs one more martyr to the hit parade

(Chorus -- Repeat)
