Systematic Self

She told me a story
 How she wanted to die
 I tried to ask her
 But she wouldn't say why
 I guess I made another mistake today
 I though it would be safe to come out and play
 I see her walking
 Where I used to live
 If I stopped her
 Well, she could tell me then
 Where she's been, how she's been
 How have you been? how have you been?
 My systematic self will get me through
 My systematic self will get me through
 My systematic self will get me through
 He feels like the devil
 When no one's around
 Walks like an angel
 To the back of the crowd
 I guess he lost somewhere along the way
 I thought it would be safe to come out and play
 I see him talking
 In the corner store
 I could stop and ask him
 "Is there more?"
 Ask him where, where he's been
 How he's been, how have you been?
 My systematic self will get me through
 My systematic self will get me through
 My systematic self will get me through
 My systematic self will get me through
 My systematic self will get me through
 My systematic self will get me through
