Betty Cutts

I believe she's breathing correctly
 I believe her heart rate's fine
 But the doctor's notice that her pupil's dilated
 And he's sure that's not a good sign
 ...? and whiskey were a stupid idea
 especially when she's eight months pregnant.
 Now she's smashed her head on the porcelain bowl
 and she's lost our baby and she's fractured her skull
 But I can't stop pretending she's attractive
 And I can't keep ignoring that she doesn't want to live
 And I only really care because I don't want to sleep alone
 I remove sharp objects when I leave her all alone
 Well, she's making a full recovery
 But she blames me for saving her life
 But she still shares my bed
 And she still takes me dancing
 Because it fills up the time
 And she's breaking off the ends of the silk coats?
 The way she sits makes her look a little cripple
 And sleeping and eating have become bad habits
 Like sex and watching TV
 But I can't stop pretending she's attractive
 And I can't keep ignoring that she doesn't want to live
 And I only really care because I don't want to sleep alone
 I remove sharp objects when I leave her on her own.
 If she wants to sleep
 Then I should really let her sleep
 If she wants to die
 Then I see no reason why not
 If she wants to sleep
 Then I should really let her sleep
 If she wants to die
 Then I see no reason why.
