oh, cathy

cathy did you hear what i said? 

or are you talking to the voices again? 

cathy does it matter at all? 

oh cathy did you take a big fall? 

will they put her in prison 

or another institution

what if they're mean again and again and 

for the thousandth time will he raise his voice at her

sometimes she will burn her own skin 

she likes to poke at it with a pin 

cathy has a fear and she wont get over it 

it feels like death and it feels like death and it 

cathy did you hear what i said? or are you talking to the voices again? cathy does it matter at all? oh cathy did you take a big fall? 

shooting heroin 

go talk about it like its a choice 

but you don't know the alternative

some people frown at the phone

but there are worse things to do when you get home

i know a woman who plays games

through the night so she won't shoot up again 

cathy did you hear what i said? or are you talking to the voices again? cathy does it matter at all? oh cathy did you take a big fall? cathy did you hear what i said? or are you talking to the voices again? cathy does it matter at all? oh cathy did you take a big fall? 

my father was killed with a knife

he managed to come back to life 

and even he got sober

but he could never ever be nice
