See, I know a nurse specialized in the worst

When you're a friend in need, she'll be your friend indeed

When you can't find your tongue and when your rational weeps

She says uh, huh, huh

So why don't you lean on me if you wanna?

Why don't you lean on me for a while?

Since you only get high on the weekends, uh huh

Why don't you feed on me tonight?

See I know the taste of the spike in your brains

As you crawl to me, a little closer to me

I guess you're in the place that I used to be baby

Now it's down to me, so simply down to me

Oh, but I'm a fool and I fall apart too easily

But you know me how I love to be with madame misery

Come and visit me, I'm on the 99th floor of apathy

But still you can lean on me if you wanna

Why don't you lean on me for a while?

Since you only get high on the weekends, uh huh

Why don't you feed on me tonight?

She said that there will always be a soft spot in my cardiac arrest

And I will love you until I die from all of this

And something tells me I will die alone

But still you can lean on me if you wanna

So why don't you lean on me for a while?

Since you only get high on the weekends, uh huh

Why don't you feed on me tonight?

(See, I know the taste of the spike in your brains

As you crawl to me a little closer to me.)

Why don't you feed on me tonight?

(Oh madame misery, come and visit me

Oh won't you crawl to me, a little closer to me?

Madame misery, come and visit me

Oh won't you crawl to me, a little closer to me?)

And baby there will always be a soft spot in my cardiac arrest

And I will love you 'til I die from all of this, yeah

And there will always be a soft spot in my cardiac arrest

And I will love you 'til I die from this
