I am a pain

In your ass

And I'm wonderin' how long it's gonna last

Be my mirror

Be my friend

Be the workhouse of the energy

I twist your arm to spend

Every day

Like a powerstation

Chorus:

You know it isn't good

You know you're burning too much wood

But when you burn out

The twisted irony is

Your ashes come home to me

Come home to me

So we take a walk

To make some sense

And I'm wondering if you fancy my defense

But I have pushed you

Way too far

And you say "fuck you, little Princess

Who the hell d'you think you are?"

Every day

Like a powerstation

Chorus:

Oh well, you know it isn't good

You know you're burning too much wood

But I said if you burn out

The twisted irony is

Your ashes come home to me

Come home to me

Come home to me

Ah well, your ashes come home to me

Come home to me

Come home to me

No other sucker gonna have them on the fucking mantelpiece

The mantelpiece

The mantelpiece
