Cemetery Stroll

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I cannot belong to people, places Garbage bought and sold for sacred Cases in the windows graced with Wasted moments, belly-aching Count your praises, frame your favourites Handshake only after payment You better give that blood bank every Drop of what they want Unless you want a morning mashup Or a Kansas City stomp I owe my only hope To the clay of county breakdowns Children chase my hubcaps Like mudflaps when I make rounds, so Round and round, I almost drown A landlocked life for me [Hook] Keep your drunken fathers out at sea, out at sea Keep your drunken fathers out at sea A landlocked life That's the life for me [Verse 2] A sunny cemetery stroll across the prairie folds The sky forgives all anger, with a sun that barely holds Corroded names with numbers near 'em They once meant something special Ants crawl in and out of rotting roses, pulling off the petals [Verse 3] War medals look like the loose change disaster on the counter That we used to feed addiction of war heroes we amount to $2.53's your total, keep the pennies, please And keep your drunken fathers out at sea, out at sea [Verse 4] They're sending messages in red smoke out across the hills We sit and watch the skeptics polish up their living wheels It feels surreal, kinda sleazy, maybe hopeless As the leaders drown and spend their final words on how the boats flipped [Hook] Keep your drunken fathers out at sea, out at sea Keep your drunken fathers out at sea A landlocked life That's the life for me Keep your drunken fathers out at sea, out at sea Keep your drunken fathers out at sea A landlocked life That's the life for me
