I had wrists donning slits flowing constantly   My broken body in a wreck, I'm wrapped around a tree   A crosswalk hit and run, the finish line for me   People clutter in the gutter, take a look and see      No escaping pain, you belong to me   Clingin' on to life by the skin of my teeth   No escaping pain, you belong to me   Clingin' on to life by the skin of my teeth      And my blood flows through the streets, deluge from the wounds   Empty jars of sleeping pills on the dresser in my room   And my wet brain neighbor cranes his neck to see   In time the white light's a train bearing down on me      No escaping pain, you belong to me   Clingin' on to life by the skin of my teeth   No escaping pain, you belong to me   Clingin' on to life by the skin of my teeth      I won't feel the hurt, I'm not trash any longer   You know that it doesn't kill me, it only makes me stronger   I need a ride to the morgue that's what 911 is for   So tag my toe and don't forget, ooh to close the drawer      No escaping pain, you belong to me   Clingin' on to life by the skin of my teeth   No escaping pain, you belong to me   Clingin' on to life by the skin of my teeth
