Ashes To Ashes - The Wallflowers

Well, you could walk like a stranger head back into here

Bringing gifts while you act so sincere

Bringing gifts for a boy whos five years

Looking for rocks and training wheels

I dont remember you from any of those books

Ashes to ashes and six feet under, face down in a box

Where did you ever learn to treat me like that

You dont seem to have any of that family stuff

You know the hardwood floors and all that penniless rough

Your bad luck follows you like a heart attack

Twist your fingers, soon as break your back

I dont remember you from any of those books

Ashes to ashes and six feet under, face down in a box

Where did you ever learn to treat me like that that that

Its coming from another with a mother whos just like yours

Givin you headaches and all those mental scores

Give a little, have a little, take some for yourself

Like the needy and the greedy always seem by themselves

Well, you must be, have to be one of these

Hidin in the shade under your family tree

Think I met you once in a liquor store

No think I saw you hanging by the stage door

Handing out programs to the family theater

Devised a role so you dont mistreat her

Take it wild, take it fast

You never gave yourself a chance

I dont remember you from any of those books

Ashes to ashes and six feet under, face down in a box

Where did you ever learn to treat me like that, that, that, that
