Call it a draw on the attack But I won the defense I refused to yield Relent or give in Dispelled all the prayers Believed were heaven-sent Disposed without care The thought I'd need them again And I'm better now, than when I'm at my worst Still, their hushed tones always speak Louder than words Don't bother, don't bother That's the tether I keep To anchor me to This land of famine and greed Though lust's what I want It's not my heart's desire Too bad that died long ago atop The rest of the pyre Go ahead and take your place Among those who came before The ones I couldn't replace Really though, who's keeping score You bit my lip And cut me deep As I poured myself out Into the street And as I floated away Down the stream In the moonlight there I saw you gleam But don't bother, don't bother That's the tether I keep To anchor me to This land of famine and greed Though lust's what I want It's not my heart's desire Too bad that died long ago atop The rest of the pyre So don't bother, don't bother That's the tether I keep To anchor me to This land of famine and greed Though lust's what I want It's not my heart's desire Too bad that died atop The rest of the pyre Don't bother, don't bother That's the tether I keep To anchor me to This land of famine and greed Though lust's what I want It's not my heart's desire Too bad that died long ago atop The rest of the pyre
