"Bargain Basement Howard Hughes" by Jerry Cantrell

Written by Jerry Cantrell

Don't deny I did you cold 
I broke your trust and lied 
Controlling, selfish, gossip abound 
Cocaine mouth over mind 

And I say... 
I wash my hands, pull the slivers 
No master plan, I deliver 

Enigma wrapped in riddle 
Your life I belittle 
Dignity I'd steal 
Now I know how it feels 

Stubborn bastard, hard head knocking 
We had our good years, too 
Though apart, you're still in my heart 
I'd give anything for you 

And I say... 
I wash my hands, pull the splinters 
No master plan I deliver 

Enigma wrapped in riddle 
Your life I belittle 
Dignity I'd steal 
Now I know how it feels 

Often heard, seldom seen 
Bargain Basement Howard Hughes 
Hermit phase, a woodshed rage 
These days headlines are few 

Repeat: And I say... 
Repeat: Enigma...
