Nirvana — On a plain

On a plain

I’ll start this off… without any words,
I got so high… that scratched till I bled.
I love myself… better than you!
I know it’s wrong,.. so what should I do?
The finest day…that I’ve ever had
Was when I learned… to cry on command.
I love myself… better than you!
I know it’s wrong,.. so what should I do?..

I’m on a plain, mm…
I can’t complain, mm…
I’m on a plain, mm…

My mother died… every night,
It’s safe to say… “Don’t quote me on that”.
I love myself… better than you!
I know it’s wrong,.. so what should I do?
The black sheep got… blackmailed again,
Forgot to put… on the zip code.
I love myself… better than you!
I know it’s wrong,.. so what should I do?..

[CHORUS]

Somewhere I have heard this before…
In a dream my mem’ry has stored…
As defense I’m neutered and spayed…
What the hell am I trying to say?..

It’s now time… to make it unclear
To write off lines… that don’t make sense.
I love myself… better than you!
I know it’s wrong,.. so what should I do?
And one more special… message to go,
And then I’m done… then I can go home.
I love myself… better than you!
I know it’s wrong,.. so what should I do?..

I’m on a plain, mm…
I can’t complain, mm…

[REPEATS]…
