‘Stagger Outside'

I wonder what new thought
They've put into your head this week
That I'm a deranged psychopath?
A dangerous freak...?

Sure, I'm wielding a machete
As I speak
Just poised to slice off your
Pretty pink cheeks

Oh, please tell me I don't patronize
When I urge you to make up your own mind

Don't bother to run
Don't try to hide
‘Cause it's as much as I can manage just to
Stagger outside

I'd love to know your briefing
For today
That I'm a murderer? A rapist? Or…
God forbid…gay?!

Sure, I'm lying here in wait for you
Watching you play
Ready to seize the opportunity to
Whisk you away

Well, I guess they're not obliged to open their eyes…
Suffice to say they're blessed to be living their lives

Don't bother to run
Don't try to hide
‘Cause it's as much as I can manage just to
Stagger outside.
