Love lies bleeding in dead bouquet, dread the dripping years and wish away each day

Swear I'd live through all of your nightmares if it meant that I could sleep okay

She says the body is keeping score, lost in sudden death, she can't take it no more

And if laughter's the medicine we need then this misery is therapy

I want the trust of every animal

Gonna bay for the blood of those that are hurting ya

When the black cloud comes, if one flame flickers

We will feast on the tongues of the last bootlickers

Love lies bleeding's a sobriquet, as the petals fall the pet names do the same

Keep a list of what ails me, tare to the elderly skeleton inside my frame

Time will come when we know that we oughta, drive to the horizon of American Water

Bankrupt, a frozen donation thermometer

Grab you by the hips and say it's you that I'm grateful for

And I want the trust of every animal

Gonna bay for the blood of those that are hurting ya

When the black cloud comes, if one flame flickers

We will feast on the tongues of the last bootlickers

To the tune of the National Anthem

Of a country that didn't survive

In a language I'd learned and forgotten

I'll stay home keep the garden alive

(A milestone, a millstone

A molehill to die upon)

And I want the trust of every animal

Gonna bay for the blood of those that are hurting ya

When the black cloud comes, if one flame flickers

We will feast on the tongues of the last bootlickers

To the tune of the National Anthem

Of a country that didn't survive

In a language I'd learned and forgotten

I'll stay home keep the garden alive
