I feel week I feel destroyed
Feel like my brain’s been toyed with
I tried to speak in tongues
But only gibberish came out
They said the salt bled out my body
And that my brain could explode
Or was it my heart that could explode
The doctor asked me just in case, who's the right to cut the cord
They wheel you round and round
You see your wife in the background
All you want’s to lie back home with her
And make a joke of it
But right now nothing’s funny
Another nurse and a doctor
Hook you up to an EKG
You know, that thing that does the thing you saw once on TV
And you can barely stand up still
If you let me come home god
If you let me come home
If you let me come home god
If you let me come home
I’ll drink a salt-shaker for breakfast
Say thank you, lord for all the salt
I’ll count each grain upon the beach
Burn a sacrifice and eat them
I’ll be a new half-man, half-salt
I’ll be a new half-man, half-salt
