Life at the North Pole Lyrics

Clear out
Oh you've seen what's going on
My eyes are tearing open what my brain should do without
My heart is firing like a submachine gun
My face is frozen stupid in what must look like the sky is falling down
My bones are always cold
I'm going downward any way I go
And it's getting really hard to stay
But it's really hard to get away
When no one knows I'm here
Anymore

Cheer up 'cause we're having such a ball
The letters go unanswered
And you'll never get a call
The baby's all grown up before you get there
The slot machine is richer now and you've been doing all the pulling down
My bones are always cold
I'm going downward any way I go
And it's getting really hard to stay
But it's really hard to get away
When no one knows I'm here
Anymore

Mother, mother
I tried to count to ten
Just like you told me, told me
I tried to medicate just like you
Showed me, showed me
But every now and then it gets away from me
They never asked me to play
They never called out my name
I don't know why I spent all of my life here anyway
My bones are always cold
I'm going downward any way I go
And it's getting really hard to stay
But it's really hard to get away
When no one knows I'm here...
