Happy Slapping

When you're alone
Do you worry about me
When I'm alone
All I do is worry, worry worry worry
Worry 'bout a heart attack
Wondering who's got your back
If you had a healthy lunch
If somebody spiked your punch
Do the boys take care of you
Or do they leave you home to brew
Yeah
Doin' fine without you

When you're alone
Do you sit and weep
Or do you keep the fire lit
With photographs of you and me
Is the heaviness letting up
Or do you feel like giving up
And if you gave up what exactly
What exactly would it mean
Overflowing septic tanks
And avoiding all the bins
Till somebody says "I knew the girl
She kept a tidy flat
But now the garden's full of rats
I know she used to sing
But now she talks to buildings
She's doing swell without you"

When you go out
Do you dread coming home
To an empty house and stale bread
And nobody to warm your bed
Does it make you scared to die
Cause that's what keeps me up at night
Lying stiff for several days
With nobody there to say
"Wake up honey or are you dead"
And that keeps running through my head
Doing sweet without you

When you wake up
Do you get a fright
When suddenly you remember
You no longer have a life
Cause it scares the shit right out of me
An avalanche of memories
Come raging like a bitch on heat
So I don't stay in bed soon as I wake
I flee the room say "life is great"
Stick on the radio and laugh
And when the prime time jokes
Pretend that they relate to me
As if I'm not detached or lonely
Or is that how we all feel
And eating crap is how we deal
With life and all its splendid trappings
Robbery and happy slapping
Yeah
Doing sweet without you
Doing swell without you
