[Verse 1]
This is not love
This is not even worth a point of view
In Echo Park, I
Pause for effect and whisper "Who are you?"

[Chorus]
They crawl out of their holes for me
And I die: You die
Hear them laugh, watch them turn on me
And I die: You die
See my scars, they call me such things
Tear me, tear me, tear me

[Verse 2]
Now I have your names
Screaming "You will suffer" and "You're all too late"
Now I feel young
Does everything stop when the old tape fails?

[Chorus]
They crawl out of their holes for me
And I die: You die
Hear them laugh, watch them turn on me
And I die: You die
See my scars, they call me such things
Tear me, tear me, tear me

[Outro]
But I'm still frightened by the telephone
