When I Was Born
I was born in a wasteland
Of a wastebasket yawning after the last piece of garbage
Was wrought in the dust of the fallen walls
Out back of a Taco Bell at 3 AM
Just as they're closing down
As I puked my brains out
I was born in a row of houses
Or more like the alley behind as we peed in the dark
Trying not to let the passing cops see us there after the bar kicked us out
I was born on a train or a platform
I can't remember cause the blackout
I just know when I came to my knees were bleeding and
I don't know how I got home
I was born in a water fountain
Baptized broken fingered and dropped off by a bus
And I was almost late to work that morning
But I wasn't
Was it me or was it you
Was I the same person then I am now
Are you
Are any of us the same
Was it me or was it you
Was I the same person then I am now
Are you
Are any of us the same
Of a wastebasket yawning after the last piece of garbage
Was wrought in the dust of the fallen walls
Out back of a Taco Bell at 3 AM
Just as they're closing down
As I puked my brains out
I was born in a row of houses
Or more like the alley behind as we peed in the dark
Trying not to let the passing cops see us there after the bar kicked us out
I was born on a train or a platform
I can't remember cause the blackout
I just know when I came to my knees were bleeding and
I don't know how I got home
I was born in a water fountain
Baptized broken fingered and dropped off by a bus
And I was almost late to work that morning
But I wasn't
Was it me or was it you
Was I the same person then I am now
Are you
Are any of us the same
Was it me or was it you
Was I the same person then I am now
Are you
Are any of us the same
