[English]

WHEN I LOOK BACK ON MY LIFE

IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T WANT TO SEE THINGS

EXACTLY AS THEY HAPPENED

IT'S JUST THAT I PREFER TO REMEMBER THEM IN AN ARTISTIC WAY

AND TRUTHFULLY THE LIE OF IT ALL IS MUCH MORE HONEST

BECAUSE I INVENTED IT

CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY TELLS US ARGUABLY

THAT TRAUMA IS THE ULTIMATE KILLER

MEMORIES ARE NOT RECYCLED LIKE ATOMS AND PARTICLES

AND QUANTUM PHYSICS THEY CAN BE LOST FOREVER

IT'S SORT OF LIKE MY PAST IS AN UNFINISHED PAINTING

AND AS THE ARTIST OF THAT PAINTING

I MUST FILL IN ALL THE UGLY HOLES AND

MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL AGAIN

IT'S NOT THAT I'VE BEEN DISHONEST

IT'S JUST THAT I LOATHE REALITY

FOR EXAMPLE THOSE NURSES

THEY'RE WEARING NEXT SEASON CALVIN KLEIN

AND SO AM I

AND THE SHOES

CUSTOM GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI

I TIPPED THEIR GAUZE CAPS TO THE SIDE LIKE PARISIAN BERETS

BECAUSE I THINK IT'S ROMANTIC AND I ALSO BELIEVE

THAT MINT WILL BE VERY BIG IN FASHION NEXT SPRING

CHECK OUT THIS NURSE ON THE RIGHT

SHE'S GOT A GREAT ASS

BAM

THE TRUTH IS BACK THEN AT THE CLINIC

THEY ONLY WORE THOSE FUNNY HATS

TO KEEP THE BLOOD OUT OF THEIR HAIR

AND THAT GIRL ON THE LEFT

SHE ORDERED GUMMY BEARS AND A KNIFE A COUPLE HOURS AGO

THEY ONLY GAVE HER THE GUMMY BEARS

I WISH THEY'D ONLY GIVEN ME THE GUMMY BEARS

[DOCTOR] MORNING MORPHINE PRINCESS

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

EVERYTHING WENT REALLY WELL

LOOK AT YOU, I REMEMBER WHEN I DELIVERED YOU

YOU LOOK JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER

EXCEPT MY MOTHER IS A SAINT

[DOCTOR] OH SWEETY!

TACHYCARDIA HEART RATE IS 120

I'M GONNA MAKE IT

[DOCTOR] NO INTIMACY FOR YOU FOR TWO WEEKS

BLOOD PRESSURE 90 OVER 40

A LITTLE LOW, BUT THEN AGAIN

YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN ON THE LOW SIDE

I'M GONNA BE A STAR

YOU KNOW WHY?

[DOCTOR] WHY?

BECAUSE I HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE

[DOCTOR] DO YOU NEED ANYTHING ELSE?

JUS, UN PETIT PEL DE LA MUSIQ

[BO] COULD BE SOMEONE IMPORTANT

HELLO?

HELLO PRESTON

[WHISPERS] MY MANAGER

[BO] PERFECT! I TOLD YOU

BUT I'M AN ARTIST...

WHAT DO YOU MEAN GIVE UP?

YOU MAY SAY I LOST EVERYTHING

BUT I STILL HAD MY BEDAZZLER

AND I HAD A LOT OF PATCHES

SHINY ONES FROM M&J TRIMMINGS

SO I WREAKED HAVOC ON SOME OLD DENIM

AND I DID WHAT ANY GIRL WOULD DO

I DID IT ALL OVER AGAIN
