DANCING CORONERS
a vulnerable patrol car pulled me over for being too animate
made me sign a manifesto saying that too much animation
was a bad thing
they gave me a big red sucker and told me to behave
late last night a thug fell in love with my front door
lucky for me my neighbor is a specialist
he wrote a book about thugs that fall in love with front doors
The Dancing Coroners are going to be at Staples Center today
I thought i had a ticket
did you perhaps borrow it when you were here
checking out my CD titles
folk singers still get bills in the mail
they hopefully can pay them on time
the radios are tied up now
someone did not like them
they sit behind a heavy door
playing the same old tune
i don't have time for your hate mail
go and staple it to some other person's heart
i don't have any reason to kill you
go on, explain to me why i need to kill you
tell me all the ways and means
i don't want to be a stranger to pain
i want to honestly bleed
if i couldn't
i'd have no reference point
well, if you're gonna comb my hair
i guess you must
i really don't need it right now
but i guess we all gotta look good
when the wind starts to really howl
well, don't just stand there, show me what you got
i know it's nothing
but sometimes nothing is all we got
and it will just have to do
