lyrics

your words are like magic
that no one can wear
and they're not like mine
i've been walking around here
with garbage in cans ribbons and bows
i couldn't stop them walking
on an elephant's tattered nose
the panic stopped the clock
i shut down the night
i emptied ashtrays on my face
made my mouth add insult to industry
i grabbed a baseball bat
shedding their ears clear off
put my head in the clouds
stomped it at the devil's place
i should have dragged it on the chin instead

this is a terrible sad song
that I want you to hear
i know you're missing it
so please listen up
while I pluck your brain out
what the hell is it worth
when the day comes on
the night stands still
there's nowhere else to go
i swear the sky stood still

i saw the metal detector
when I stepped in the entrance
and I sat beside the head of his bed
on the side of the road
so it seems to me
as we're passing by
but our voices fade from sight
on the edge of the wall
my heart breaks
as we're stumbling through this fog
i turn my head back
on the horrible pain
as he kicked me out screaming

this is a terrible sad song
that I want you to hear
i know you're missing it
so please listen up
while I pluck your brain out
what the hell is it worth
when the day comes on
the night stands still
there's nowhere else to go,
i swear the sky stood still
