Analysis of Screaming in MY Corner
Phillip Mears 1991
The pain of knowing
The blood stains on the linoleum
You found what I wasn't showing
I guess we will be missing that colloquium
I am in a state of opprobrium
You sit there screaming in my corner
Where my blood stains are on the linoleum
'Be careful...' you are such a warner
My skin smothered in petroleum
In this life, I feel just like a foreigner
Inject me with plutonium
There I am laying in my corner
on the blood soaked linoleum.
