Lyrics
Rally up my friends
Come and stand by my bedside
If I die tonight
Put my head inside a masons jar
Put it in the ocean
And send it out to sea
I'm wading because-
And when I hit some shore
And when my seal is broke
I'll split my eyes and lips asking
"Is this a judgement or a joke?"
This is a chance to make it up
This is a chance to dissect it
This is a chance to break it up
These are the words we've selected
Don't believe my lies
Of an afterlife spent drifting
After 30 hours I sank straight
To the bottom
Of the harbor near my home
There I lay alone
The spidercrab is finely clad
Beneath my cloak of brain and bone
These are the notes we've selected
In the basement of the dress shop
They play poker on the weekend
Old men trading laces
It's an absolute disgrace
They never gave a tip to the boy who
Ran the route
They never gave a shit
What the paper was about
When they heard he'd died
They read the news that day
Just so they could see what his
Obituary would say
It said:
Rally up my friends and stand by my
Bedside
Rally up my friends and stay with me
Tonight
