God’s on his haunches out on the back porch,
he’s reading a road map, he’s a little off course.
My sister’s in the back yard talking to a dead horse,
that’s me curled up in the corner of course.
Welcome to this dead man’s town,
everything’s changed since you stopped coming around.
Oh baby, who’s gonna save me!

Momma’s all glassy eyed, it must be the drugs,
she’s lying on carpet, down there on the rug.
The tv’s show's playing that same game show,
Pedro winks at me, he’s in the know.
Welcome to dead mans’ town,
everything’s changed since you stopped coming around.
Oh baby, no need to save me.

I wrote myself a letter. This is what it said.
My teeth are all yellow and I wish I was dead.
The sun was a big fat blister up above my head.
I went out and bought myself a newspaper instead.
Welcome to dead man’s town,
everything’s changed since you stopped coming around.
Oh baby, don’t try and save me.

I called up my friend. They say he’s a poet.
He said he could help me. He said sure, yeah, you know it.
He’d write me a poem, yeah, that’s what he said.
Then he bought himself a shotgun and shot himself dead
Welcome to dead man’s town.
Everything’s changed since you stopped coming around.
Oh baby, don’t try and save me.

I’m sitting in the kitchen, just sucking on my thumb,
waiting for the second coming to come. How come
this night’s rattling like an old oil drum?
Nobody told me this weren’t no fun.
Welcome to dead man’s town.
Everything’s changed since you stopped coming around.
Oh baby, you can’t save me.
