Dear Deceased - Skin Yard

In a car I am driving

The cops bear down

And in my mind, I am thinking

Face of the clown

And in the morning I wake up

Breath, «Oh, why?»

Because it’s part of the program

Prepare to die

And in our day, the perfect routine

Something safe and something clean

And on our minds, that same old line

«Prepare to die»

And in this work, I am working

The 9 to 5

And I think to myself

«Will I get out alive?»

Sick or better

Poor ghost man

I said, «Now, where do I begin?»

I’ve heard it said

That a lounge singer

Dies some way

I’ve heard it said

That a lover

Leave you yesterday

I’ve heard it said

«Just one more to take»

I’ve heard it said

Lounge singer sings

On the subway

Sings about you and me

On the subway

«Just one more pill to take,» he says

Don’t leave me

Tie you to my legs

And run around

And tie passion to your face

Don’t let me down

And tie your mother to heart

«Don't leave me,» you say

Die yesterday

Don’t leave me

In a car, we are driving

The cops bear down

And in our mind, we are laughing

Face of the clown

Sick or better

Poor ghost man

I said, «Now, where do we begin?»

Lounge singer dies

(Lounge singer dies)

On the subway

Sings about you and me

(On the subway)

Oh, someway

Just one more pill to take

(Travel through, you say, you say)

Burning, hey
