She wanted to be a nun
Until that fateful day we met
I beat the crucifix
In a game of russian roulette
I burned my beatles records
Because she hated number nine
She licked rock cocaine suckers
Laughed, said her mom's doing mine
Well... are you an illusion
Or am i just getting stoned
Because i can't take it alone
I can't take it alone
I hope i didn't just give away the ending
We started limping
Caught the handicap shuttle to town
And yelled "god's healed us"
As we ran off the bus the driver just frowned
By the way this girl was sexy and she wouldn't touch you
That may not be true
But i said it so you'd feel involved with the song
Are you an illusion
Or am i just getting stoned
Because i can't take it alone
I can't take it alone
I hope i didn't just give away the ending
We caught a fey taxi driver
I smiled the ride was free
I felt like amsterdam
She wanted more drugs and maybe me
I told her dealer i was broke
He hired a cameraman
We did a porno film for coke
I hear i'm big in japan
Are you an illusion
Or am i just getting stoned
Because i can't take it alone
I can't take it alone
I hope I didn't just give away the ending
We went back to her kitchen
Put the coke all in a can
Tied up a t.v. minister
In walked her dad
He started drinking coffee
Too much sugar on the go
He fell dead on the floor
He thought the coke was sweet 'n low
Well are you an illusion
Or am I just getting stoned
Boy was she upset but then she stole her dad's wallet and
I drove him to the hospital
To sell all his donatable body parts
And this is when she dies
They brought a depressed junkie in
She shot his Cyanide up
I guess she thought it was errol flynn
I'm blamed in confusion
The police being phoned
I don't even love you
We weren't even friends
It's just that i can't take it alone
I can't take it alone
Uh huh
I can't take it alone
I hope I didn't just give away the ending
I hope I didn't just give away the ending
I hope I didn't just give away the ending
I hope I didn't just give away the ending
I hope I didn't just give away the ending
I hope I didn't just give away the ending
Aw Jesus, ah shit
I think I just gave away the ending
