(And all I ask of myself is that I hold together)

Half as drunk is twice as clever
Appalled when tarred and feathered
Remarks upon the weather
Will just retard endeavor

This pieces of meat is pumping
Poison 'round itself so neatly
About it, pound for pound, it
Feeds away and most discretely

And all I ask of myself is that I hold together
And all I ask of myself is that I hold together
And all I ask of myself is that I hold together
And all I ask of myself is that I hold together

Get me divine ascension
Supply my worst intention
To thrash it out in heaven
Our Lord - to thick to mention

This piece of mind is keeping
To itself, if only sleeping
Regard it, freeze it, jar it
Assign it all to healing
And all I ask of myself is that I hold together
And all I ask of myself is that I hold together
And all I ask of myself is that I hold together
And all I ask of myself is that I hold together

And all I ask of myself is that I hold together
And all I ask of myself is that I hold together
And all I ask of myself is that I hold together
And all I ask of myself is that I hold together
That I hold together
That I hold together
(And all I ask of myself is that I hold together)
