Taken from the 1997 album Chosen to be Frozen

lyrics

Put the puppies in the bag and take them down to the riverside
It shouldn't feel so easy, but that part of me has died
Because a thousand knocks will send you dribbling and soggy brained
Embrace the poison or take it boiled and strained
Deflavourised, nothing's ever going to hurt again
Nothing's ever going to hurt again

When you bless it as you bin it, I know there's still a spark in you
You hide it without trying; everyone looks straight through
Once I would have sat in the road to protect you
Now I've lost interest; now I connect to
A deafening nothing that's never going to hurt again
Nothing's ever going to hurt again

Hold the laughing gas in place
Pump the ether, keep the pace
I don't care it isn't safe
Misplaced body laid in state

Eighteen candles, one big pill
Ends it with a monster thrill
The kind of safety that can kill
Doesn't need a special skill

Are you my sworn enemy?
I can't remember
Rejuvenate me
While I try to mismember my mind
I wonder what glories we'll find
