Well, here's the evidence of human existence

Displaying men magnets in two damn boxes

And I cannot find the name for them

They hardly show that I have lived

And the dust, it settles on these things

Displays my age again

Like a new skin made from old skin

That had barely been lifted

I didn't need these things, I didn't need them, oh

Pointless artifacts, a mediocre past

So I shed my clothes, shed my flesh

Down to the bone and burned the rest

I didn't need these things, I didn't need them, oh

Took them all to bits, turned them outside in

And I left them on the floor

And ran for dear life through the door, oh

Useless objects, I gathered a storm of shit

Put them in silent shed, threw out your life's supplies

When all you need's a coffin

And your Sunday best to smarten up the end

At the front gate, what a reward awaits

One pint of love from the Holy Ghost

An eternity of suffering

In the company of all those Christian men

I didn't need these things, I didn't need them, oh

Pointless artifacts, a mediocre past

So I shed my clothes, I shed my flesh

Down to the bone and burned the rest

I didn't need these things, I didn't need them, oh

Took them all to bits, turned them outside in

And I left them on the floor

And ran for dear life through the door, oh

Never need these things, I'll never need them, oh

This is you and me, you're my human heat

And the things are only things

And nothing brings me like you bring me, oh

I never need these things, I'll never need them, oh

Never going back, so we can drop the past

And we'll leave it on the floor

And run for dear life through the door, oh
