about

About Kurt Cobain's death, I was jealous of him: He had succeeded at suicide, me not. We were the same age, same artists, same addiction, same look with the blond hair even... I felt I related deeply to his lyrics and his tragic story. We'd start the show with this often, I had a gun in my hand for that song...

lyrics

BLINDED BY THE PAIN

Why did you have to kill yourself?
We still want you around
We heard what you had to say
and we wanted to hear more from you
Pretty stuf is so ugly when you're in pain
Even Frances saw with her baby eyes
All the pain and the shame,
and the sickness and the blame

We all cared for you but you didn't help yourself
I forgive you and I understand
what it's like to be
Blinded by the pain, numbed by the rain

Blinded by the pain, numbed by the rain
Blinded by the pain, numbed by the rain

Why did you have to kiss your death?
what did you hope to find there?
Is your ghost stil screwin' around
Waiting for an answer
Pretty stuff is so ugly when you're in pain
Maybe you saw in your baby's eyes
Daddy, daddy's lost in limbo

We all loved you but you didn't love yourself
I know
what it's like to be
Blinded by the pain, numbed by the rain

Blinded by the pain, numbed by the rain
Blinded by the pain, numbed by the rain
Blinded by the pain, numbed by the rain
Blinded by the pain, numbed by the rain

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
