[Verse 1]
A Ecripple walks amongst you
All you tired human beinAgs
He's got Eall the things a cripple has not
Working arms and legs A
And Evital parts fall from his system
And dissolve in Scottish Arain
But vEitally, he doesn't miss them
He's too fucked up to cAare
[Chorus]
Well is that Eyou in front of mAe?
Coming back for Beven more of exactly the C#msame
AYou must Ebe a masochiAst
To love a modern lBeper on his last C#mleg, on hAis last lEeg A E A
[Verse 2]
Well I Ecrippled your heart a hundred times
And still can't work out Awhy
You see, EI've got this disease
I can't shake and I'm just rattling tAhrough life
Well tEhis is how we do things now
This is how the modern stay Ascared
So I Ecut out all the good stuff
I cut off my foot to spite Amy leg
[Chorus]
Well is that Eyou in front of Ame?
Coming back for eveBn more of exactly the sC#mame
AYou must Ebe a masochiAst
To love a modern leBper on his last lC#meg
WellA I am iEll but I'm not dAead
And I don't know whichB of these I prefC#mer
BeAcause that lEimb which I have lAost
Well it was the onBly thing holding me C#mup, holAding me Eup B C#m A E B C#m A
[Bridge]
Well I'm Elying on the ground now
And you're walBking through the oC#mnly dAoor
Well EI have lost my eyesight like I saBid I would
But I stC#mill knAow
[Chorus]
That that is Eyou in front of Ame
And you are back for evBen more of exactly the C#msame
WeAll are yoEu a masochiAst?
