Thanks for the coffee mama I could hardly keep my eyelids from falling down And thanks for the body mama I'm gong to go outside and destroy it now I'm gong to piss my ashes all over the town 'Cause this place it is a hospital with locks on all the doors And it don't need me around that much anymore And I've been feeling like a penny in a payphone on the shore 'Cause this world don't need me around that much anymore Thanks for the praying mama I'm not sure how that stuff works but it's the thought that counts Thanks for just saying mama that you like me around I've been more gone by the ounce I've been shooting back my doubts All my brothers have found others
And I've forgotten what my friends are for 'Cause they don't need me around that much anymore These towns don't need me around And I've been down as the ocean floor 'Cause this world don't need me around that much anymore The skyline it is no longer my marquee All the bugs outside my window They have found better things to sing about New dreamers to praise They say "Don't come around just let the wind blow" Like it was summertime and I'm a sweater On a southern woman's floor She don't need me around that much anymore And if the afterlife is just the soil Then my name it is the Lord The world don't need me around that much anymore
