Neither Can I (Slash, Dover) Songtext
von Slash’s Snakepit

I once had a friend, they found him in a car
A hose to the window and the motor running hot
Seems he couldn′t take it, the rhetoric of life
Someone found him naked with a note right by his side
By his side
Oh, by his side

He can't take it back
Neither can I
No, neither can I

Mommy and daddy
I′ve borrowed the car to sleep on the floor
I'm sorry so much
For bringing my own living hell to your door

Thanks for all the flowers at the ringside seat
Thanks for nothing everyone
The prayers were too weak


This is the way, it happens all the time
Can you pay attention to everyone that cries?
Remember, you can make it through
And make it new only if you try
You gotta try

'Cause you can′t take it back
Oh, neither can I
No, neither can I

Mommy and daddy
I′ve borrowed the car to sleep on the floor
I'm sorry so much
For bringing my own living hell to your door

But things had gotten heavy
Everything was deep
Nothing really mattered
So I just went to sleep, yeah-yeah

I just went to sleep
And I can′t take it back
I won't try

I won′t try
I won't try
I won′t try
I won't try


Yeah, mommy and daddy
I've borrowed the car to sleep on the floor
Mommy and daddy
I′m sorry to tell you, life is a bore

Don′t send any flowers
Don't send anymore

′Cause I can't give it back
Ooh, no more
