lyrics

IN MY HAPPY HOME I WAKE UP & COPS ARE SURROUNDING MY BED
MY GIRLFRIEND IS CRYING, I'VE FORGOTTEN HOW TO TALK, I SHAKE MY DAMN HEAD
I USED TO BE AN EMT, I REACH FOR THE REFUSAL OF CARE
SIGN X'S FOR MY NAME, 'BESIDES MAN, WHO THE HELL CARES?'
THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE
MORE 'PROBABLY GET HIT BY A BUS, ANYWAY,' UNLESS IT'S SUDDEN DEATH
WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS ALL THAT WE TALK ABOUT

DR. WU SAID 'JOE, AN ENCEPHALITIS SHUNT IS WHAT I RECOMMEND'
MY MOM SAID 'DAD YOU NEED THIS LIKE YOU NEED A HOLE IN THE HEAD'
'HANDS OFF STEALER PLS', 'NOT THE BEES' IN THE RUSTED CAR
'I'M PRO-LIFE & I VOTE' ‘THIS IS MY FAVORITE CROWBAR’
RICHARD & I PUT THE ROOF BACK ON, AVA HEARD ALL ABOUT WOODROW WILSON

'HOME? I HAVE NO HOME'
I WAKE UP SCREAMING AT INVISIBLE THOUGHTS IN MY BED
WE ONLY SEE GHOULS & GHOSTS & GODS WHEN WE ARE POSSESSED
I USED TO BE A DONOR, MY TYPE O NEGATIVE WENT LIKE HOTCAKES
'THIS IS MY BLOOD'- BOTTOMS UP - NOW I CAN'T GIVE IT AWAY
I AM FLYING MY WHITE FLAG UPSIDE DOWN - YES AND NO
EVEN IF YOU'RE LOOKING WHO KNOWS WHAT SHOWS

JOE SAYS 'DON'T YOU KNOW THAT I WANT TO DIE?'
BUT SOMETIMES JOE LIES - HIS TV SAYS 'THE DEVIL IS DANCING TONIGHT'
JOE USED TO BE A MEDIC - JOE SAYS 'ARE YOU TAKING DILANTIN?'
JOE SAYS 'WE THOUGHT HE WOULDN'T MAKE IT, BUT WE STAYED UP ALL NIGHT WITH HIM'
NAMESAKES NOW AND AT THE HOURS OF OUR DEATHS
WE LOOK AT EACH OTHER STORIES DON'T BEGIN OR END

THE DOOR'S ALWAYS OPEN AT MY HOME
I WAKE UP & PETE IS PULLING ME FROM BED
WE'D MADE PLANS TO GO TO THE SHORE, I GUESS NEITHER OF US WAS KIDDING
WE DRINK TEQUILA ON THE BEACH, SOMETIMES LIFE'S ALL RIGHT
THE SUN CROSSES THE SKY, AND, WHO KNEW, THE MOON IS RIGHT BEHIND
I AM FRYING CHICKEN IN MY KITCHEN, I AM ‘BEGINNING TO SEE THE LIGHT'
IS BLARING AND MY FRIENDS ARE DANCING TONIGHT
WE SAY WE'LL NEVER DIE - NICHT DIESE ABEND
WIR MUSSEN TANZEN UND WIR MUSSEN SCHLAFEN
