Corrections, from liner notes:

a. the world beat you for something nice you worked hard, died poor

b. held death at bay from the first day ... the rabbit was removed under the whole moon long bird, short road

c. they want me raw but* smooth like glass

d. but it was ruined by the sun shining through me
