The Felice Brothers - Be at Rest lyrics

Mr. Felice 6’ 148 lbs Soft teeth Sleep deprived Below average student Owner of 2 ill-fitting suits Wearer of hand me downs Often lukewarm, withdrawn Bathrobe often loosely tied Be at rest [my friend Be at rest Never once named Employee of the month Lover of 24-hour laundromats Avoider of eye contact Avoider of Blood drives Be at rest [my friend Be at rest Worked every night club in Amеrica Had a fear of falling pianos Now exists in the intеrval between Being and Illusion In the saddle of a phosphorous horse A patron of snow cone carts Semi-proficient at long-division Once spent over 2 months stuck in a painting by Bruegel the Elder Be at rest [my friend Be at rest The hearse has been cleaned and polished His body has been prepared for entombment The guest book left open The funeral parlor pillows have been fluffed To his son he leaves a cloudless sky One pair of ill-fitting shoes To his wife a drawer of undeveloped negatives A bowl of onion soup From dreams to dust
