now I'm lower than a worm on a rainy day
trying to slip across the lanes of your big highway

I feel lower than the moss growing in the crack
that you've got to step across, break your mother's back

now I'm lower than the dirt underneath your shoe
it only doubles up the hurt because I know it's true

you used to make me feel high
you used to make me feel high
like a child inside
so incredibly high

now I'm harder than the rock by a prison gang
that you use to break the lock of your ball and chain

now I'm harder than the glass in your diamond ring
if it wasn't made to last, it don't mean a thing

now I'm harder than a stone at the break of day
I would rather be alone than to feel this way

you used to make me feel soft
you used to make me feel soft
in your arms I would rock
like a baby I fall

I feel colder than the sleet on the window pane
when you're thirty thousand feet in your aeroplane

now I'm colder than the tide on a winter's night
you keep shoving me aside until the morning light

I feel colder than a joint in your frigidaire
I bet you had to scrape the sides to fit my heart in there

you used to make me feel hot
you used to make me feel hot
and all the love that you got
it used to make me so hot

now I'm lower than a worm, now I'm harder than a rock 
now I'm colder than the ice on your freezing cold cock

now I'm meaner than a dog, now I'm blackened by the night
you don't even say my name unless you want to fight 

you used to make me feel high
you used to make me feel high
like a child inside
so incredibly high
