Green Glass Head

Flowers are dead
Coke bottle red
Blood is spilling halfway down your green glass head
I feel sick, dirty dirty trick
Shiny little bullet
All you wanted was a lick

Men come check
Fingers to your neck
Sirens in the sea and the street, at the wreck
Neighbours all show
None that I know
Offering their big teeth, bold lies, hope

Fishbowl face
Mouth so strange
Never seen a person act in such odd ways
Limbs gone limp
Eyes still twitch
Shiny little bullet
All you wanted was a lick

Nurse in black
Hair tied back
Premature funeral
Name on a plaque
Breath is dim
Living is slim
Chapel bells ring when the reaper turns grim

You look good in your cotton gown
They're trying really hard to get the lead all out
The sun still moves
I think it should stop
There's gotta be a way around nature's cruel law

Change God's mind
Religious all night
Too many pages and we don't have time
Prayers and thoughts, prayers and thoughts
They only say that if they think hope's lost

Russian roulette, make a good bet
Wasn't very smart to gamble life or death
What do I know? That everyone goes
Bones decay to dirt and the river still flows

Wish I could pry, ask what it's like
Four walls and a lid and you're in
Out of your time
I am inclined that after I die
To think that there's nothing and I will not fight

Picket fence
The souls of men
Passed down in the suburbs where we all pretend
Hell is no more, no encore
Just a bunch of happy and celestial shores

Prayers and thoughts, prayers and thoughts
They only say that if they think hope's lost
