i’ve been trying to sell my soul
i’m at the back of the line
green mining through ashtrays
some things never change
the bottom shelf is a black hole
Slow and Low, Rock and Rye
knocked me out for a while
now, i’m wide-awake
i don’t want to . . .
i don’t want it
chip crumbs on my shoulder
i always shit where i sleep
i’m asleep in your living room so guard your things
i really needed a blanket
i didn’t know how to ask
buried deep in your cushions . . .
i’m dead
(bury me)
i don’t want to
(death is a warm blanket)
i don’t want to
(bury me)
i don’t want to feel it
(cover up, move on to better things)
i don’t want to
(bury me)
i don’t want to
(bury me)
i don’t want to feel
