It's time to get the lash it's time to get the rope
Sharpen the razor grab the microscope
It won't be pretty when they cut the tether
Sometimes you lose your address to find your shelter
Why is joy something i must steal
Starving skeletons looking for a meal
Out in the graveyard the church bells peal
Earth has no sorrow heaven can't heal
I bought a crap detector it emptied all my savings
It's got a hair trigger feel for the slightest provocation
Not there to spill blood or judge out of line
It's just a modern convenience to save you some time
Johnny says to sarah as he takes her by the hand
"i hear angels 'cross that river in beulahland"
The waters are cold and they're deep my friend
I'm going down down down and coming up again
I'm checking my closets since i don't know when
Surely life is more than learning how to live with your skeletons
Wind swing low whisper in my ears
Wind swing low dry these tears
