  • Watch your mouth oh, oh, oh
    Because your speech is slurred enough
    That you just might swallow your tongue
    I'm sure you would want to give up the ghost
    With just a little more poise than that

    Or was it God who chokes
    In these situations, running late?
    Oh no, He called in
    Or was it god who chokes
    In these situations, running late?
    Oh no, he called in

    The hospice is a relaxing weekend getaway
    Where you're a cut above all the rest
    Sick and sad patients
    On first name basis with all the top physicians

    Prescribed pills to offset the shakes
    To offset the pills you know you should
    Take it a day at a time

    That's when you stu-stu-stutter something profound
    To the support on the line
    And with the way you've been talking
    Every word gets you a step closer to hell

    That's when you stu-stu-stutter something profound
    To the support on the line
    And with the way you've been talking
    Every word gets you a step closer to hell

    Prescribed pills to offset the shakes
    To offset the pills you know you should
    Take it a day at a time

    Prescribed pills to offset the shakes
    To offset the pills you know you should
    Take it a day at a time

    I am
    Alone in this bed, house and head
    And she never fixes this
    But at least she

    I am
    Alone in this bed, ooh
    She never fixes this
    But at least she

    Prescribed pills to offset the shakes
    To offset the pills you know you should
    Take it a day at a time

    Prescribed pills to offset the shakes
    To offset the pills you know you should
    Take it a day at a time

    The hospice is a relaxing weekend getaway
    Where you're a cut above all the rest
    Sick and sad patients
    On first name basis with all the top physicians Writer/s: Brendon Urie, Brent Wilson, George Ross, Ryan Ross, Spencer Smith
