No Graves in Egypt

Smoking Fox Trot

a true story I made up about a man transforming
his dead dog into a bone marionette
to dance and sing with when the sun goes down:

he never had a friend 
and never took a wife
he use to have a one-eyed dog
but he ran out of life
he put him in a wooden box
with hinges and a lock
he checked his corpse every day
and watched him as he rot

but in the middle of the night
we throw rocks at the moon
and howl
loop loop loop dee loop
loop dee loop loop dee loop

he let the flesh dry off the bones
all muscles veins and skin
he brought them down the river
and he bleached them white with gin
he tied the bones together 
with some string wrapped in a ball
and hung his head and all four limbs
and walked him down the hall

but in the middle of the night
we throw rocks at the moon
and howl
loop loop loop dee loop
loop dee loop loop dee loop


Loop De Loop

shoot the horses and saddle up the humans
we are going farther than we know
lets said to hitch a ride as far as we can go

i had a dream that all my teeth just..fell out, fell out  x3
what does it mean? 
It means im losing all control
(control)

I watched as my shadow jumped into my shoes
then she walked away. 
I tried to catch up with her.. 
(run faster)
but I started to decay.

i had a dream that all my teeth just..fell out, fell out  x3
what does it mean? It means im losing all control
(control)

take these matches out and cram them. 
Just cram them down my throut.
(throut)
I burn brighter on the inside. 
I burn brighter on the inside.

i had a dream that all my teeth just..fell out, fell out  x3
what does it mean? It means im losing all control
