Knock ´Em Dead
(album: The Shade Of Poison Trees)
This basket arrives
To show your condolence
You hope that it finds me well
And just in time
This loss was unbearable
But now I have flowers
A thoughtful, blooming bright arrangement
I can out live too
Dress the corpse in his best
We only have one shot
To knock ´em dead
A toast to the way he left us
Counting our blessings
Holding our heads
We better speak up
We better say something
We better believe ourselves for once
´Cause he never said help
He never said anything
In the way that we dreamed ourselves to appear
It´s only in this silence
That I can hear him screaming
On and on alone
Dress the corpse in his best
We only have one shot
To knock ´em dead
And toast to the way he left us
Counting our blessings
Holding our heads
Dress the corpse in his best
We only have one shot
To knock ´em dead
And I would´ve thought
That I have more to lose than him
My skin is stark stark white
And ash covers my skin
I should´ve worn make-up
It seems to have worked for him.
