Ashes To Ashes

Well, you could walk like a stranger head back into here

Bringing gifts while you act so sincere

Bringing gifts for a boy who's five years

Looking for rocks and training wheels

I don't remember you from any of those books

Ashes to ashes and six feet under, face down in a box

Where did you ever learn to treat me like that

You don't seem to have any of that family stuff

You know the hardwood floors and all that penniless rough

Your bad luck follows you like a heart attack

Twist your fingers, soon as break your back

I don't remember you from any of those books

Ashes to ashes and six feet under, face down in a box

Where did you ever learn to treat me like that that that

It's coming from another with a mother who's just like yours

Givin' you headaches and all those mental scores

Give a little, have a little, take some for yourself

Like the needy and the greedy always seem by themselves

Well, you must be, have to be one of these

Hidin' in the shade under your family tree

Think I met you once in a liquor store

No think I saw you hanging by the stage door

Handing out programs to the family theater

Devised a role so you don't mistreat her

Take it wild, take it fast

You never gave yourself a chance

I don't remember you from any of those books

Ashes to ashes and six feet under, face down in a box

Where did you ever learn to treat me like that, that, that, that
