Happy Slapping

When you're alone do you worry about me

When I'm alone all I do is worry, worry worry worry

Worry 'bout a heart attack, wonderin' who's got your back

If you had a healthy lunch, if somebody spiked your punch

Do the boys take care of you, or do they leave you home to brew

Yeah

Doin' fine without you

When you're alone do you sit and weep

Or do you keep the fire lit with photographs of you and me

Is the heaviness letting up, or do you feel like giving up

And if you gave up what exactly, what exactly would it mean

Overflowing septic tanks and avoiding all the bins

'Till somebody says "I knew the girl, she kept a tidy flat

But now the garden's full of rats, I know she used to sing

But now she talks to buildings

She's doin' swell without you"

When you go out, do you dread coming home

To an empty house and stale bread and nobody to warm your bed

Does it make you scared to die, 'cause that's what keeps me up at night

Lying stiff for several days with nobody there to say "wake up honey or are you dead"

And that keeps running through my head

Doin' sweet without you

When you wake up do you get a fright,

When suddenly you remember you no longer have a life

'Cause it scares the shit right out of me

An avalanche of memories come raging like a bitch on heat

So I don't stay in bed soon as I wake I flee the room say "life is great"

Stick on the radio and laugh and when the prime time jokes pretend that they relate to me

As if I'm not detached or lonely or is that how we all feel and eating crap is how we deal with life and all it's splendid trappings

Robbery and happy slapping

Yeah

Doin' sweet without you

Doin' swell without you
