lyrics

The corpse on the table is staring at me
The voice in the window is screaming at me
The face in the window is running away
'Cause the view from out the window must be totally crazy
The voice on the radio had a word to say
I don't remember a thing that happened today

I still don't know if I'm from Hell
Or if Hell is raging inside of me
Maybe I'm makin' Hell on Earth
And Earth is extracting fire from my skin


I met a lady on the Metro home
She said her name was Almond Plum
She was rooted in the ground like a tall tree
But she sat in the seat in front of me
She said hello but what I heard was
Come with me if you want to live
I counted nine dead trees on my walk from the Metro today.

I wouldn't tell my closest friend
But I threw your corpse into the ocean
It was sitting on the table staring at me
I felt like I was being watched

Sometimes they have burgers at the burger place
Sometimes they just have milkshakes
Sometimes they just have whatever they want
And that's when they don't have anything

The corpse on the table is staring at me
I'm starin' at the corpse on the table
And now I don't feel like anything
Now I don't feel like anything
