Don’t Pray
The diagnosis is malignant and
It's dragging my spirit down to hell
I'm hooked up and I'm dying
I don't want chemo, I can't hear it
Don't try to get me well
Don't pray me well
The radiation is tormenting me
You're exuberance is graceful dance
And dance has left me without chance
And chance has left me out
So many times and got me for my thirty lies
I'm on my way to a terrible place
Noviembre, a otra vez me abandonaste
La medicina no sirve y
Las pastillas agravame
Ya me encontraste muerto
Yo he muerto
The misery's unending and I can't get love from anywhere
And anywhere is nowhere to be found
Oh I swear, if I lost a dime for every inch of self-doubt and the lies
I'd be broke in denial and on trial for that thirty-thousand
Mile bridge I burned between my everything and me
I would lose my best friend
I would lose my best friend
Who had sheltered me and primarily
Saved me from the fathers who abandoned me
Just like you
Noviembre, a otra vez me abandonaste
La medicina no sirve y
Las pastillas agravame
Ya me encontraste muerto
Yo he muerto
Somehow you always knew what's best for me and you
And I've always trusted you
Somehow you always knew everything
So I'll take the beat-up railroad from Miami to Tennessee and
Battle the carcinogens I draw along the way
And if I end up in a hospital bed
Like I said I'll be okay but
Don't pray for me
November you don't rain,
You don't rain. Contrary to popular belief you don't rain
You don't cry but I cry and I never stop crying and
You don't rain, and I don't pray
No, you snow and you're cold in the middle of August and
Autumn is all around me
The leaves are falling, trees are tall and
Barren and lifeless without jurisdiction
They've no choice but to die every year and
Not speak
So I'll take the beat-up railroad from Miami to Tennessee and
Battle the carcinogens I draw along the way
And if I end up in a hospital bed
Like I said I'll be okay but
Don't pray for me
November
I know what you do
What to do
But sometimes I don't like to
