1
He came 'round for the afterparty
2
Got a reception more than hearty
3
Well no wonder, here he was, our city's most prominent martyr
4
Who stuck needles in his arms while you and I still stuck to smarties
5
And who taught us all 'bout poetry and how to pick up birds
6
Who hung on to his pathos while other suckers saved and earned
7
And the underground would love him in return
8
He came 'round for the afterparty
9
Got a reception more than hearty
10
So then he took a loop around and then he slouched into an armchair
11
And there was she, yeah in a flash, like Guinevere to her King Arthur
12
So I closed my eyes and this is what I heard:
13
You sorry ass, you sorry ass
14
Oh! Death to the martyrs, come on, come on
15
You sorry ass, you sorry ass
16
Oh! Death to the martys, come on!
17
I remember it all clearly, I remember it precise
18
How he fixed me with his stare and looked me right into the eyes
19
Saying: "Me, I'm no machine, no, I defy the nine to five"
20
Now forgive me, I considered it both radical and wise
21
But for God's sake, I was fourteen at the time!
22
You sorry ass, you sorry ass
23
Oh! Death to the martyrs, come on, come on
24
You sorry ass, you sorry ass
25
Oh! Death to the martys, come on!
26
Now you who are so grand, who claim you built the fundaments on which I stand
27
You are the man, but you preferred the gentle fan I was before
28
But now it's time to be unkind to speak my mind
29
And if you ask why I'm so blunt, it's 'cause I care for you, you cunt!
30
You're no longer wild at heart, you're just a boring junkie fart
31
And if you really wanna die, alright, then die, then you old tart!
32
So I walked across the dancefloor until I was in his sight
33
And I opened up and this is what come out:
34
You sorry ass, you sorry ass
35
Oh! Death to the martyrs, come on, come on
36
You sorry ass, you sorry ass
37
Oh! Death to the martys, come on!
