lyrics

RUINED
(Mark Chadbourne)

Opened my eyes for the first time in my life
Held down
Fed dirt
At least it gave you something you could talk about

It didn't have to be this way
When I stood standing you fell away
When I went down, you showed that day
Well, okay

Now that I'm ruined
it seems you just might like me more
Messy and human
Is that what you were waiting for?

Tripped up
Pushed down
Yeh, I know I'm perfectly imperfected
Worn down
Found out
A human being willfully neglected

It didn't have to be this way
When I stood standing you fell away
When I went down, you showed that day
Well, okay

Now that I'm ruined
it seems you just might like me more
Messy and human
Is that what you were waiting for?

Poor, poor me
When all goes dark will you be there to hold my hand?
Poor, poor me
Who will be there for poor, poor me
Poor, poor me
Pity the guy
Reach out your hand out to mine
Whose last, final moments are broke and spent
So dramatically
Who will be there then for me?
Poor, poor me
Brought back to me (poor, poor me)
On your knees!

Now that I'm ruined
Poor, poor me
Messy and human
Poor, poor me
Opened my eyes for the first time in my life...

Ah ha! Ah HA!!!
na na, nannah nah nah...

Now that I'm ruined
Messy and human
Now that I'm ruined
It seems you just might like me more
Messy and human
Is that what you were waiting for?
