Ashes To Ashes lyrics

Well, you could walk like a stranger head back into here,
Bringing gifts while you act so sincere,
Bringing gifts for a boy who`s five years,
Looking for rocks and training wheels.

I don`t remember you from any of those books,
Ashes to ashes and six feet under, face down in a box.
Where`d ya ever learn to treat me like that?

You don`t 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 don`t remember you from any of those books,
Ashes to ashes and six feet under, face down in a box.
Where`d ya ever learn to treat me like that, that, that?

It`s coming from another with a mother who`s just like yours,
Bringin` you headaches and all those mental sores.
Take a little, have some, need some for yourself,
Like the needy and the greedy always seem by themselves,
Well, you must be, have to be one of these,
Hidin` under / on the shade of your family tree

Didn`t I meet you once in a liquor store?
I think I saw you hangin` by the stage door
Handing out programs to the family theaters / feeders
Devised a role/Too proud to run
so you don`t mistreat her.

Take it wild, take it fast,
You never gave yourself a chance.

Well I don`t remember you from any of those books,
Ashes to ashes and six feet under, face down in a box.
Where`d you ever learn to treat me like that, that, that, that
