THE CUT-UPS #3 - What happened to Kenny Galvin
That sunlit nights once lit the mornings like kerosense,
So beautiful becasue you almost hoped it would set you on fire
And you can just burn like straw men in the crop fields
I'm not sure if thats a life, who am I to say its not,
And age makes us uncaring doesn't it
A month ago you were exciting,
Theee days I usually only tell myself
I listena lot but i dont share
The horrible things are just unnatural,
Like how you scream all night in your dreams
And no matter how big of a liar you really are
But the one thing i'll always know is realÂ
is your screaming at night, just screaming and screaming and the sound itself takes more and more of my life away.Â
I'm tired of stairwells and sick halls and emergency rooms and every day new tragedy, when your thoughts are eahc like shard of glass they are so negative that you need a whole new filter and thats not chemical thats up to you.Â
No one screams like RIch Wiley pissing himself on the bathroom floor at that party where the ambulance came and one-eyed shaggy sat with me in the stair welll and talked life.'''
No, you're no Rich Wiley, but you got me  dreanched bone deep in your was, your outlook, and if you dont' learn to smile than i'll just have to smile double, i;ll be damned, ill be damned. '
Remember that the burds will always fly and that they use the magnetic oile of the earth,Â
Its how I found my way in and out of every stiutionÂ
Blue jeans highiway, saw billy dean stooped down over a flower
I'm not unimpressed with this world
the ancients were right about everything
if they were right about blood rituals I;d left you oosacrifice me
as long as you promised to drink all of my blood
you can have me like that now
ii belive in mystic blood and I want you to live
before it all goes to hell
i have a heart and i cant overpower it
I temember drinking wine out in the graveyard so long ago
those days were so simple
if only we could all go backÂ
tho those days when we were drinking wine in the cemetary.
