The Rabbit, the Bat, & the Reindeer

Well, I don't want a thing to do with you kind
 And I ain't got no time to kill on your dime
 Strung up, hanging 'round
 Looking like you're upside down
 Well, I ain't wanting to shed no blood, that's your crime
 And I ain't wanting to sling no mud, I clean it up
 You ain't what I'd call a friend
 I wouldn't even if I could pretend
 Man, you ain't like anybody else
 As night becomes the sun to rise
 As dirt becomes the butterflies
 As sure as though it always seems to stay the same
 And I'll be waiting anxiously
 And I'll be falling fast asleep
 And I'll be dreaming of the day the dream died
 No sticks, no stones could break my bones like you can
 If I knew hate, I'd call it love for you, man
 High up on the hill, cheaper than a dollar bill
 Man, you ain't like anybody else
 Should we pretend that it's the end?
 Are you my curse, are you my friend?
 And if we got hit to the end of the road
 Will you be there to carry my load?
 I'm getting it back with that terrible feeling
 My vision is cracked, but it looks like it's healing
 I'm getting it back like it's four in the morning
 When the sun only shines as if been giving a warning
 I'm getting it back with the rest of the leap year
 I'm keeping the rabbit, the bat and the reindeer
 I'm getting it out, whatever I gotta keep in
 I'm telling the truth, said it don't win with pretend
 Should we pretend?
 Should we pretend?
 Should we pretend?
