And all I ask of myself   Is that I hold together      Half as drunk is twice as clever   Appalled when tarred and feathered   Remarks upon the weather   Will just retard endeavor      This piece of meat is pumping   Poison 'round itself, so neatly   About it, pound for pound   It feeds away and most discreetly      And all I ask of myself   Is that I hold together   And all I ask of myself   Is that I hold together      Get me divine ascension   Supply my worst intention   To thrash it out in heaven   Our Lord, too thick to mention      This piece of mind is keeping   To itself, if only sleeping   Regard it, freeze it, jar it   Assign it all to healing      And all I ask of myself   Is that I hold together   And all I ask of myself   Is that I hold together      And all I ask of myself   Is that I hold together   And all I ask of myself   Is that I hold together      And all I ask of myself   Is that I hold together   And all I ask of myself   Is that I hold together      And all I ask of myself   Is that I hold together   And all I ask of myself   Is that I hold together      That I hold together   That I hold together   And all I ask of myself   Is that I hold together
