All I Ask Of Myself Is That I Hold Together

(And all I ask of myself is that I hold together)
Half as drunk is twice as clever, appalled when tarred and feathered
Remarks upon the weather, will just retard endeavour
This piece of meat is pumping, poison 'round itself so neatly, about it, pound for pound, it feeds away and most discreetly

And all I ask of myself is that I hold together

Get me divine ascension, supply my worst intention, to thrash it out in heaven, our Lord - too thick to mention
This piece of mind is keeping to itself, if only sleeping
Regard it, freeze it, jar it, assign it all to healing

And all I ask of myself is that I hold together
