No clown's calligraphy No humorous headstone No laffy epitaph In the scrawl of a child Oh, when I go Please do not forward it on Oh, when I fall Don't post it on your wall Play "God Only Knows" when I go And "Raining in Darling" Save space, and save my face Don't bury me lain down Fire me, by cannon, Face-first through the ground Headstone at my feet Reads in Salut: "Inspiring Dude, Knew How to Execute" Oh, when I go Hand-make the hinges Hand-carve the marble Get me into the ground Oh, when I fall Oh, when I fall

Sunstrummer 04:21
For my first decade on the isle I figured I'd stake my claim and take some time to pick a name One that reflects this place just like the sea reflects the sky I'd tick my time off on the trees a sharpened stone to mark upon the bark distracted in the act of counting them three thousand at a time like a cubit only pyramid-sized My second decade in exile I took to ruling every grain of sand I'd clench my fist and watch as handfuls of my minions sift away hourglass-like or a drip in a drain My third decade upon the isle I finally could accurately calculate how long it'd take to wait in place until the world revolved around me for a change My final day I realized I'd named this island after you

Slow Doe 02:15
If I call you dear would you call me, doe? I could fawn all over you I know Look as lovely when you say hello as when you turn to go Ah, doe if I call you dear would you call me, doe? Gambol like a sheep fiendin' on you I could fill your ears with empty words and remain unheard observe: I could sit inside this empty room It feels like a tomb I'll go If I call you dear would you call me, doe?

Pigs they lifted up the grates All over town to help the water dissipate and so you spiral You spiral down the murky brown Swallows you away from me Officers, they stand around Telling me you'd drown as though I hadn't noticed standing waist-deep in their Idiocy Boot-clicking pigs, How'd you like a beating? See, I've got about half a mind to pull you right out of the window of the patrol car and smash your skull against the roof How'd you think you'd like that, pig? and smash your skull against the roof How'd you think you'd like that, pig?

To Breathe 05:48
Hold us so close we can't breathe hold us to thee please release hold us to thee to know oh, to know I can breathe unless you say I won't and now and now I can see oh I see if only I had listened listened when you said darling, let's just go home let's go home instead we could find ourselves find ourselves at home holding you, holding me to you oh, to hear you say hear you say just one time pull me out of these wet things push your lips to mine push your lips to mine push your lips to mine
