Nitrogen Pink and a whole load of Wednesdays
They're these sweet rotting memories
That keep you alive
Nitrogen Pink please
Throw me a moment just to
Get my composure and to
Wave you good bye"

Nitrogen pink for the real captain redbeard
For the unlikely pianist
The sad and the gay
Nitrogen pink for the man in the corner
For the pig in the slaughter house
The sweet melody
Played slot machines got so rich then we lost it
Found a hole in my pocket
Crack a smile and were ok
That long drive home
Nothing much ever after
Nothing hurts me more than laughter
Man I wish you could be here

Nitrogen pink and a pill for my breakfast
And a bag full of ketchup that he spilt on his tie
Nitrogen pink for the unwritten bible
About this mad mad days survival
Till he kicked it up in the flames
And all the education daddy
It never paid
Because the fat man took my innocence away
And I though and I thought and I thought
You said all the streets were paved with gold

Nitrogen Pink and a whole load of Wednesdays
They're these sweet rotting memories
That keep you alive
Nitrogen Pink please throw me a moment just to
Get my composure and to stamp on a fly
And the blind man was seeing clouds all grey
Until the weather man blew his rain away
And nobody, nobody, nobody make a sound

"Nitrogen Pink and a whole load of Wednesdays
They're these sweet rotting memories
That keep you alive
Nitrogen Pink please
Throw me a moment just to
Get my composure and to
Stamp on a fly
And the boys had they're pearls
And the girls had to backs
And everybody was laughing at you
Singing isn't it, isn't it, isn't it
Such a funny old world the way tragedy strikes

I hate the way my stomach aches
and I really hate these loveless mistakes
cause I’m screaming for my rock who never picks up,
why do you never pick up
We had pennies in our pockets
we had hope in our eyes
you said, girl you’ve got a million different faces,
so why d’you put on that disguise
well you can take what you want cause I’ve got nothing,
pass me some pills, and I will go to bed,
but, however much I toss and turn I feel a dark place up ahead
my doctor said I’ve got to sing a happy tune"

doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
my doctor said I gotta sing a happy tune
doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, do doo dn doo
but my body gave up too soon
doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
you know what
I am just fine ‘til I’m on my own
doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, ah doo dn doo dn doo
somebody please come home
I hate the way I tremble when you touch me
you’re like a needle slowly piercing my skin

Some nights I just sit right here, I remember, I just remember
before it all got lost up in the mess
he said, “Not all men are bad, and I am not like your dad,
and I will hold you, even though you’re slightly mad,
cause I am not a man who will ever break you.”
We had pennies in our pockets,
we had hope in our eyes
you said, girl you’ve got a million different faces,
so why d’you put on that disguise
well you can take what you want cause I have got nothing,
pass me some pills and I’ll go to bed,

"I hate the way I cry when you say you miss me
but I love the way you hold me when I sleep
I hate the way I bleed each time you kiss me
But you say hey, sleeping beauty, go back to sleep
We had pennies in our pockets,
we had hope in our eyes,
you said, girl, you got a million different faces,
so why d’you put on that disguise
well take what you want cause I’ve got nothing,
pass me some pills, I’ll go to bed,
but however much I toss and turn I feel a dark place up ahead
