Fun Funeral
Wake up it’s time for fun funeral
Put on your best gown for the black ball
Put on your veil to hide your smile
Now you’ve finally won your trial
Brothers and sisters gather round
You’ll try to keep from laughing out loud
Now you can see him
Now you can see him
Go down
Just twelve years old but still a find
Transfusing youth into a misguided mind
Flashing bills in a parking lot
Buying Barbies for a girl she’s not
Sharing his bloodlines awkwardly
Now it’s time to put this hell to sleep
Now you can see him
Now you can see him
Go down

Bed Death

bed death
so many Hollywood whores on parade
so much flesh for me to rise
but in the cemetery we'd lay side by side
our names inscribed by tooth and nail
but you're alone and so am I
punctured by the life we hide
bring it on back
stained wedding dress under the bed
your red panties a distant memory
this house is almost empty
me and a teapot whistling harmony
bring it on back
you rage and I fury
arms and needles thrown
when all we need to throw down is each other
bring it on back
cause you're laying down with everything
you're laying down your everything

I could be anyone any more
I can tell that it’s started now and I can’t stop it
Hole in the sky and it’s burning us all giving sunshine cancer
And you feel like it’s all been done it’s already over
And I feel it coming on I can’t stop it
Coming out of that soft woolen home is a hard place to go
You sit alone in that sensory vacuum while I’m out riding horses
But you’ve been held in for so long it’s killing you slowly
And I cannot follow you there, come on over here
I don’t know who I am anymore
I could be anyone any more
But it’s all the same to me
And I’m everything at once
I can tell that’s all finished now and it’s what I’d been wanting
An atom bomb pins our shadows to the wall and it’s all we have left
And you fist the handle one more time winding and winding
And I will explode into a thousand parts and put myself together
I don’t know who I am anymore
I could be anyone any more
But it’s all the same to me
And I’m everything at once

Open Your Eyes

Open your eyes
You’re lying here next to me
Holding my hand that you can not feel
Burning through my memories
Night and day dreams that are real
Outside of your body
People come and go
Saying their goodbyes
But inside your body
We’re only shadows
Dancing on the other side
Open your eyes
Before you die
Take back your black and blue life
There’s only one life
come on outside
deliver paradise
all the ghosts inside your bedroom
are not allowed to bang the gavel
ghosts can’t harm you
the ones who love you are a beautiful place
and feeling good means seeing her face
come on home

Superlady
I wanted you to be my superlady
But everything has it’s own time
I wanted you to be my superlady
But I’ve got to fix myself
I wanted you to be my superlady
But I’ve got to care
I wanted you to be my superlady
And you are

pretty how towns
goin through town watch all the clowns makin money
there’s you and me broke as can be with holes in our jeans
driving along our favorite songs keep us movin'
through thousands of miles nobody smiles
but we just keep singing
please, please
keep tossin' the dice our paradise is bound to be
stuck in the next city where all the pretty men and women live
you wanna give up we can’t just give up we gotta keep
searchin keep searchin' forget all the hurt and realize our dreams
please, please
that coffee shop’s as close as we got is this a sign
no matter where we are if we keep goin' farther there’ll be better times
these pretty how towns are all that’s around I gotta get
okay with this fact try not to react this place is goin' to shit
please, please

Unbound
everyone is so tired of lugging you around
everyone is so tired of you dragging us down
every time I see you you’ve got a new crown
no one here needs you, to you we’re not bound
the time has come for me to move away from you
the son has come to claim his rightful place
we’re tearing down the throne you’ve always ruled from
my mother sends you off with no bye bye bye
the place where you lay to sleep is falling
done in by neglect and by storm
the wooden spoon you used on us has broke
everyone knows all about it
the love we share will break this spell
and all that’s gone on will be done
you have been so hung up and it’s time to move on
the love we share will break this spell
and all that’s gone on will be done
you have been so hung up and it’s time to move on

Deep Sea Diver

Deep-Sea Diver
Falling fast under the ocean
Away from everyone
The great black vastness that I‘ve always wanted
Is finally mine for the taking
And all the real world with all of its problems
Don’t even matter while I’m sinking
Now that I’m passed 100 feet
I turn my light on and don’t see
Deep-sea diver is forging ahead
to where no one is looking for
Pressure is building he has trouble breathing in the air
No light, no air
200 feet and my teeth are cold
And I’m finally reaching
Nobody around to know me
Or even to know my name
Nothing sounds in this deep anyway
All silence and doom breeding
I thought I went in to discover
Touched the bottom and be my own lover
Deep-sea diver is floating back to the top
A lonely raft in the sun
Sometimes after too much introspection
You’re left the only one
No light, no love

Lullaby
Go to sleep dream a dream we’ll still be here when you wake up
Float in space I touch your face as your day ache flies away
You’re a child lovely child there’s no reason tonight to grow up
Lay your thoughts down to soar off the pillow into nowhere
Go to sleep dream a dream there’s no reason to wake up
Thank you mother for laying down with me
Thank you sister for showing me the way
Thank you brother for hitting me so soft
Thank you father for making me feel large
