lyrics

I was dreaming you were heaving at my open casket viewing
I'm all clean shaven with some blush for my blue cheeks
In the Sanctuary of Forbidden Blue Jeans
Some were surprised that death is different than the movies

Words were spoken by someone who never knew me
Like "heroic" or "stoic" he spoke of acts of dignity
Eyes were rolling; sighs rise from underneath
Assorted sniffles and tissues to keep the noses clean

Quiet exodus to dinner at Luby's
Where as usual conversation tends to stick like Goobers in your teeth
To the pub 'cause the day was kind of gloomy
My buddies look above and raise a glass to toast the new me

I'm frozen, unchosen, at poison ivy'd gravesite
Claustrophobic and I can't get to sleep at night
In the morning maybe see if I can fly
Fishing for memories like I'm looking for my light

You say my name and all my world goes bright
Like an abandoned cigarette landing on the highway at night
Landing on the highway at night
Lighting up the highway night
