Baby I Got the Death Rattle |
| We burnt all the skin from the palm of my hands |
| With an old Zippo lighter and deodorant can |
| I went to the palmist and asked her to read |
| No heart line, no sun line, no life line, no need |
| Said, «All that I wanted was a quiet life |
| Not one predetermined by minuscule slices |
| Into my flesh», and the broad, she agreed |
| One look in my sad eyes, she had to concede |
| Baby, the girdle of Venus got me |
| Got me down on my knees |
| And baby, baby, I got the death rattle |
| And you’re six months old sh-shakin' me |
| Traced my right index finger 'long the roof of every car |
| On the walk back to your house in the cold from City Arms |
| In the frost, I drew a dick for every girl that wouldn’t fuck me |
| Woke early the next morning to see the frost had bitten me |
| My blisters black and touch cold |
| Like a cute stuffed toy bear’s nose |
| The kind of gift I’d give you, like a less committed Van Gogh |
| And you, you are an angel, that’s why you pray |
| And I am an ass, and that’s why I bray |
| Your halo slipped to frame you like a photo, a porthole window |
| I see blood spill in the pure snow |
| You see sweet sauce on ice-cream cones |
| And you, you are an angel, that’s why you pray |
| And I am an ass, and that’s why I bray |
| If you were tomorrow, I’d be today |
| And this is the end |
| (I'm serious, so listen now) |
| Baby, I got the death rattle, and baby, I got it bad |
| I’ve been digging my grave for quite some time |
| When I’m not digging up the past |
| And I chewed my only necktie |
| From the metal frame of my bed |
| Where I tied your wrists together |
| Spent all night givin' (Oh, you get the message though) |
| Not headstone, but headboard |
| Is where I want to be mourned |
| Not headstone, but headboard |
| Is where I want to be mourned |
| Not headstone, but headboard |
| Is where I want to be mourned |
| Not headstone, but headboard |
| Is where I want to be mourned |
| Not headstone (not headstone), but headboard (but headboard) |
| Is where I want to be mourned |
| Not headstone (not headstone), but headboard (but headboard) |
| Is where I want to be mourned |
| Not headstone (not headstone), but headboard (but headboard) |
| Is where I want to be mourned |
| Not headstone (not headstone), but headboard (but headboard) |
| Is where I want to be mourned |
