Damaged Floor Model

I kept it together today but just barely.
I'm still shaking.
I was cool as a cucumber when I visited Mary.
I can be a caretaker.

The nurses said "Hi" to me and we smiled.
"Do you need to be admitted again?"
I just wanna get the fuck out of here.
I just wanna get the fuck out of here.

I'm a damaged floor model.
Just get me the fuck out of here.

I'm the best actor this town's ever seen.
I can even fool myself.
Injured me everywhere I'm trying to heal.
A fool without any sense.

The nurses said "Hi" to me and we smiled.
"Do you need to be admitted again?"
I just wanna get the fuck out of here.
I just wanna get the fuck out of here.

I'm a damaged floor model.
Just get me the fuck out of here.

(no words for a bit)

The nurses said "Hi" to me and we smiled.
"Do you need to be admitted again?"
I just wanna get the fuck out of here.

I guess I just wanted some sleep and some wine.
Tomorrow's a new day.
Look I'm sick of it all just let me be fine.
Who depends on me anyway.

The nurses said "Hi" to me and we smiled.
"Do you need to be admitted again?"
I just wanna get the fuck out of here.
I just wanna get the fuck out of here.

I'm a damaged floor model.
Just get me the fuck out of here.

I'm a damaged floor model.
I just wanna get the fuck out of here.

I owe a great debt of gratitude to a friend
for the way he expressed the ideas that
inspired, informed, and are even
directly present in these lyrics.
