On a Plain - Nirvana

Album: Nevermind

genre: Grunge

I’ll start this off without any words
I got so high I scratched ’till I bled
I love myself better than you
I know it’s wrong so what should I do?
The finest day that I’ve ever had
Was when I learned to cry on command
I love myself better than you
I know it’s wrong so what should I do?

I’m on a plain, mmm
I can’t complain, mmmm
I’m on a plain, mmmm

My mother died every night
It’s safe to say, quote me on that
I love myself better than you
I know it’s wrong so what should I do?
The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code
I love myself better than you
I know it’s wrong so what should I do?

I’m on a plain, mmm
I can’t complain, mmm
I’m on a plain, mmm

Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As a defence I’m neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say?

It is now time to make it unclear
To write off lines that don’t make sense
I love myself better than you
I know it’s wrong so what should I do?
And one more special message to go
And then I’m done, and I can go home
I love myself better than you
I know it’s wrong so what should I do?

I’m on a plain
I can’t complain
I’m on a plain
I can’t complain
I’m on a plain
