The Morgue - The Morgue lyrics

From the sunny skies of Brooklyn, New York You and I drove into structured suburbia Drove to avoid the stench of the city And leave our problems behind for the summer But you found yourself in the morgue again Staring into the time machines there I found myself in the strip mall again With the addict's delusions of the wiccans in the parking lot We checked ourselves into the hospital again Which welcomed us with open arms You watched us like ants under a microscope Your corpse somewhere distant and betrayed Visited me in that hospital again With a young woman, a friend of yours Saw by the twitch in her eye where she was from Somewhere deep in the hidden depths of America Dark, painful fragment from the past That day, she stood bright and beaming With a sharp, lightbulb smile The other night's nightmare she decided she was ready For dreams of d**h Got out of the hospital again Was thrown out with open arms Found someone I could be stupid about again With smooth, dark hair resting on my chest Troubling, violent fantasies Boring parties And dreams of d**h We all had supper again And you sat with a tall gla** of the reddest blood And you almost found out where it came from We thought you knew Came from down the road Came from somewhere distant and betrayed Came from somewhere far behind
