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
