When I was young,
And unbroken,
I tried so hard to get under my mama's skin,
And so it begins.
I braced myself,
Embraced myself,
Misplaced myself,
And all with a shit eating grin,
And the prick of a pin.
It's a Killer Life,
It's a Killer Life,
It's a Killer Life,
Now on with the show!
I built this house with walls of flesh
And broken bones
And skins
And I must confess,
That I'm a sweet mess.
I changed by guard,
With no regard
I'm not unscarred so far,
But I'm a success,
Of bitter sweetness!
It's a Killer Life,
It's a Killer Life,
It's a Killer Life,
Now on with the show!
