Lyrics:
-------
(VERSE)
She's a car broken down out on the highway
She's a good little girl but her daddy don't know
I said my bed is just a moment away
She stops herself, she solds herself, and she shakes her head
She says, "I'm all alone in this town.
 I'm gonna buy myself some brand new things. I'm gonna get myself together.
 I'm gonna break myself and take myself to some other time."
A brand new dress, some brand new shoes, a brand new cup for tea
Don't burn yourself, don't hurt yourself, don't fall down on your face
I made my bed, I'm gonna sleep in it
But I'm gonna get myself some clean new sheets

(CHORUS)
Baby come back
Make yourself whole
Baby come home
Choke the medicine down

(VERSE)
Water well, washing well, come wash me away
I think I hurt myself or cut myself on some other day
She says, "Don't think it's no good for it all
 Some days it's good, some days it's bad
 Most days you can't wash it off."

(CHORUS)
Baby come back
Make yourself whole
Baby come home
Choke the medicine down

Baby come back
Make yourself whole
Baby come home
Choke the medicine down

"I should have no feeling, because
  feeling is pain.  Everything I need
  is denied to me, and everything I want
  is taken away from me.  But who have
  I got to blame?  Nobody but me.
     It's time I got back...."
