Torn like an old dollar bill
Girl let them say what they will
That no one should hurt you
And that's all I seem to do
That no one should desert you
And that's all I seem to do

I got to tell you, goodbye mama
We've taken this too far
Been trying to tell you what's going on
Trying to make it easy on you
Trying to make it better
Make it easier on you
It's all I came to do
It's all I came to do

Now I'm down in the light
And I must be dreaming it
Cause I see clearly, I see angels here
Bringing something to me, Mother Mercy

I told a lie, I didn't mean it
Goodbye mama, I've taken this too far
Been gone a while
Been gone a long way, oh yeah

I don't want to hurt you
It's all I seem to do
Don't want to desert you
It's all I seem to do

I got to tell you, goodbye mama
I've taken this too far
Been down a while
Been down a long way

Trying to make it easy on you
Trying to make it better
Make it easier on you
It's all I came to do
It's all I came to do
It's all I came to do
That's all... been down a long
Been down a long, long way
Torn like an old dollar bill

Good tune. I really like this band, but this is not one of their best tunes. I gave it a 6.

I remember buying this CD at a Best Buy in Springfield, IL back in '93 and still listen to it today. Classic album from the grunge era. Would have loved to see these guys live before they broke up.

i love them. i would have loved to have seen them live too.

Unimportant grunge sidenote and this from a grunge fan.

This guy's voice is the very definition of 'dirge'. Bring on the screaming trees, please - they'd be nicer on the ears.

I don't hear much that seems "dirge-like" about his voice but there is something fairly disagreeable about it - like a guy leaning over a bar, crying into his empty beer glass. Not a bad tune though.
