Not Going Anywhere lyrics

I`m not going anywhere; I have way too much to lose
Even though I`m killing myself,
It`s no indication I won`t come through
Don`t go making plans to fill my absence
Even though I`ve been gone too long
I can stamp my foot and split in two
But I`ll be whole before the dawn.

Say I`ve been to hell and back
Well you got it wrong, I never did return
Lay my head on the chopping block and
I`ll hand you the hatchet.

Strewn again from limb to limb
A slap and a tickle and a hand in the till
Between extremes is mighty grim
I`ll be free in a minute of my free will
Two on a bed gone round the bed
I laugh and writhe the more I try
My mind fell apart for you to mend
I sing to you and you reply.

Say I`ve been to hell and back
Well you got it wrong, I never did return
Lay my head on the chopping block and
I`ll hand you the hatchet.

Soon as my head hit the pillow
He took it as his cue to shake me back awake
Could have killed him bout a couple of times
By laying in wait and tearing down the drapes
If I stomp hard enough
He`ll slip in the soap and
I`ll wave good-bye as he`s circling the drain.

I`m not going anywhere, I have way too much to lose
Even though I`m killing myself,
It`s no indication I won`t come through
Don`t go making plans to fill my absence
Even though I`ve been gone too long
I could stamp my foot and split in two
But I`ll be whole before the dawn.
