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 my guard
With no regard
I'm not un-scarred 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!
