[Billy] Kill that drummer
[Gwen Well I’ve got a friend who’s a man
[Billy] Who’s a man?
[Gwen What man? A man who keeps me from the lonely, the lonely
He gives me what I need
[Billy] What you need?
[Gwen What you got?
I need it all so badly

Anything I want, (anything), he gives it to me
Anything I want, (anything, but not …), he gives it,
[Both] but not for free
[Gwen It’s hateful, (it’s hateful)
[Both] And it’s paid for, and I’m so grateful to be nowhere

[Gwen This year I’ve lost some friends
[Billy] Some friends?
[Gwen What friends? I don’t know, I ain’t even noticed
You see, I gotta go out again
[Billy] Again?
[Gwen] My friend, I gotta go see the madman (?)
Oh,
[Both] anything I want, (anything),
[Gwen] he gives it to me
[Both] Anything I want, (anything, but not …),
[Gwen] he gives it, but not for free
It’s hateful, (it’s hateful)
And it’s paid for,
[Both] and I’m so grateful to be nowhere

[Gwen] Anything I want, (anything), he gives it to me
Anything I want, (anything, but not …), he gives it, but not for free
It’s hateful, (it’s hateful)
And it’s paid for, and I’m so grateful to be nowhere

I killed all my nerves
[Billy] My nerves?
[Gwen] What swerves? I can’t drive so steady
Oh, I lost my memory, (memory)
[Billy] My mind
[Gwen] Behind
I can’t see so clearly

Oh, anything I want, (anything), he gives it to me
Anything I want, (anything, but not …), he gives it, but not for free
[Billy] It’s not for free
[Gwen] (Anything), he gives it to me
Anything I want, (anything, but not …), he gives it, but not for free
[Billy] It’s not for free
[Gwen] (Anything), he gives it to me, (anything),
[Billy] not for free,
[Gwen] he gives it to me
Not for free, not for free,
[Billy] it’s not for free,
[Gwen] not for free, not for free,
[Billy] it’s not for free,
[Gwen] not for free
[Billy] It’s not for you, it’s for me
