The lady is dying
She bends back like a wave
As her spirit is climbing
Through the hospital wall and away
And I wanted to hold you
As you made your escape
But now I should have told you
When your eyes were alive and awake
Always in life we all must make this mistake
And so I go it alone
And the pressure is great
I hold on to my own
Oh please oh don't go away
And I wanted to know you
Before you started to fade
But I gave everything to
A lie and a farce and a fake
Always in life we all must make this mistake
And so I go it alone
And the pressure is great
I hold on to my own
Oh please oh don't go away
I'd like to see you
When all of these angry days fall away
She bends back like a wave
As her spirit is climbing
Through the hospital wall and away
And I wanted to hold you
As you made your escape
But now I should have told you
When your eyes were alive and awake
Always in life we all must make this mistake
And so I go it alone
And the pressure is great
I hold on to my own
Oh please oh don't go away
And I wanted to know you
Before you started to fade
But I gave everything to
A lie and a farce and a fake
Always in life we all must make this mistake
And so I go it alone
And the pressure is great
I hold on to my own
Oh please oh don't go away
I'd like to see you
When all of these angry days fall away

Can anyone make out the words to the second unreleased part of this song that Jeff sings on the Live at Sudsy Malone's, Cincinnati, OH 7/23/96 bootleg? There are two verses to it. The first one goes something like:
Every sing every single day and its flares would go on the clam blue gray and we made and we made all the way and we know and we know that its all ran away
Then comes the part where he really starts to get into it and is shouting and going nuts and the band is playing and you can't hear a fucking thing. If anyone thinks they can discern even a single word of that clamor I am open to suggestions and would be much obliged.
