Glutton For Pain
Gluttony is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Which means, to me, that you can EAT yourself to death. Some people EAT pain. These lyrics describe the thought processes of one such person.

Verse 1.
I'm done
like the sun
in a trillion
two years.
Over you,
when the world
is flooded
with tears.
Watch the Moon
explode
and Jupiter
wane.
I'm with you
till the end.
I'm a glutton
for pain.
Chorus.
I'm never going to leave you.
I'll never walk away.
Even if I'm tempted to
buy a house in L.A.
California's just so happy,
relaxed and risqué.
Not the best place to be
for a person like me.
I'm a glutton for pain.
Verse 2.
I'll quit
when you get
a hand-written
note
from the King
of England
or better
the Pope.
Asking me
to loosen
the ties
and the chains.
Until then
you're mine.
I'm a glutton
for pain.
Chorus.
I'm never going to leave you.
I'll never walk away.
Even if I'm tempted to
take a London holiday.
England's just so busy,
with the trollies and the trains.
Not the best place to be
for a person like me.
I'm a glutton for pain.
Bridge.
Beat me for breakfast,
I'll save you some room.
Crush me at lunch,
in the late afternoon.
Dinner is served.
You can cut me with words.
The snack bar stays open.
I'll have hurt for dessert.
Verse 3.
I'm through
when the zoos
set the animals
free.
When the Wood
Industry
stops cutting
down trees.
If an effort
is made,
polluted waters
are strained.
Maybe then
I'll consider.
I'm a glutton
for pain.
Chorus.
I'm never going to leave you.
I'll never walk away.
Even if I'm tempted to
go on Safari for a day.
Nature's just so resilient.
It survives. It can change.
Not the best place to be
for a person like me.
I'm a glutton for pain.
