about

A musing on funerals. I flubbed the rhyme scheme because I wasn't paying attention; it bothers me. But otherwise a nice song.

lyrics

standing in the corner, oh-so-tall
i've read your work in magazines
you hold my hand, you tell me things

like that hole in your head just there:
did it come from a drug bust?
or did it come from love-lust?

when your body slips below
we'll say your name repeatedly
in the shadows of your photographs
we'll drown in all the sound

kidnappers in racerbacks,
sing their story, melancholy,
the piano will not play itself

and a daughter of the velvet underground
is touching stuff that lincoln touched
she licks her lips, she spills your guts

when your body slips below
we'll say your name repeatedly
in the shadows of your photographs
we'll drown in all the sound

it's a long way home from here
it's a long way home from here
soon your time will come; don't bother to run
(i wouldn't be caught dead in this place, in this place)

it's a long way home from here
it's a long way home from here
