lyrics

I was just calling to see that your well
I hope that your doing okay
are all the doctors that see to your health
been taking your symptoms away?
and when your better I'll take you to town
we'll dance and we'll drink the cafes
and then the world will be better at last
since I know that you're in it to stay
here in my arms I said here in my arms
oh now no one will take you away
and if they try to I'll and if they try to
I'll burn burn burn burn their cities to ruins
outside the window of this train that I'm on
the world is so cold and so gray
I was so eager to go to the west for money and boredom and fame
but now since the fire each day that I'm gone is another intestinal pain
the thought of you there in that hospital bed
wanting to see you again
so don't be so lazy now
don't be so lazy the whole world is waiting for you
and if you call on me and if you call there's nothing that I wouldn't do
cause here in my arms I said here in my arms
oh now no one will take me from you
and if they try to I'll and if they try to
I'll burn burn burn burn their cities to ruins
