lyrics
I had a friend who put his faith in a faith that he made up
and it was good as long as he stayed an alien to love
but along came a spider gave hime fangs, heart and soul
He pulled his arm away in time but the throbbing never dulls
Now we have the freedom that comes with the alternative to being dead
She said all I want is to be free from fear of death
I said no you don't that could be all you have left
I disappeared, when I returned she would not speak to me
though she had everything she wanted as far as I could see
Johnny left his room only once a day
to pick up a sandwich from the deli down the way
and once a month to keep his innocence away
Until his momma found him and had him taken away
(now we don't see you no more johnny)
Now we have the freedom that comes with the alternative to being dead
A rich and sickly girl told me that I know how it starts
and if you want to see the ending it isn't very far
But she escaped, she made the break and she cured herself
and now we have a new beginning to rise above the filth
Now we have the freedom that comes with the alternative to being dead
We once had a love that could not be held in our hands
Our families told our history and the future was made of plans
But time rolls forward eating the road we walked up from
and now there's a gap in language and a blur where we came from
And now we have the freedom that comes with the alternative to being dead
