I heard a masochist went home   I'm still here pokin' holes   Deep inside my skin   Just so I fit in      But you know I never do   Oh you know I never will   Tell me who I have to kill 'round here   Just to get some pills 'round here      My boss left me alone   I called you on the phone   Just to say my paychecks thick   We can finally take that trip      To the Gulf of Mexico   Where the local sea town is slow   And oh for heaven's sake   Oh hunny take a break      Oh this aint my home, this is a hospital   I'm so damn retro, I caught polio   I can barely walk, but I can sure as hell talk   I'm talkin' talkin' talkin' your ear off      (1, 2, 3, 4)      K-k-k-kitty had a dream   I called and I was mean   I didn't have the heart to tell her   She was in her sleep      So I drank myself annoyed   And I drank myself a son   I went and turned 21   And drinkin' hasn't lost it's fun      A businessman just bought the sun   It's such a hard business to run   'Cause everybody needs their light   But everybody's got their price      Traded money in for guns   I traded bullets in for love   Everyone I know has become   Bold and bitter skeletons      (x2)   Oh this aint my home, this is a hospital   I'm so damn retro, I caught Polio   I can barely walk, but I can sure as hell talk   I'm talkin' talkin' talkin' your ear off      This ain't my home   This is a hospital   I'm so damn retro   I caught polio
