Falling spikes follow me home
Falling spikes pierce my shadow
Shatter the sidewalk at my feet
Through the ceiling while I sleep
Everyone I knew split in two
Falling spikes got me in distress
Falling spikes make me so nervous
I couldn't get a date last night because I couldn't take a step outside
Call the doctor, call the priest, call the weatherman, the police
When I walk the streets at night I watch the falling spikes
All the people that I meet they want to run away
Plaster my face on every street
Violation! Violation!
Threw me in a quarantine, tossed in a magazine subscription
The spikes keep falling in sheets--run for shelter, run for refuge
Call the doctor, call the priest, call the weatherman, the police
When I walk the streets at night I watch the falling spikes
All the people that I meet they want to run away
When the metal waves collide I want to turn off the tide
My, oh, my! They put me away
Why, oh, why? They put me away
