Everybody's already dead This life I live is all in my head The Lawn Mower is cutting down daisies off the graves Making such a racket that dead are getting migraines The pantry's fully stocked in the basement And the sun is coming out from behind the radiation The deer are eating apples on this side of the fence And Grandma's got a gun, drawn the hammer from the pin So I hold onto my stomach while i'm jumping off this cliff Step back and take a run at it and narrowly miss Forgive me for thinking were all the same in the end We might as well back up and take a run at it again I can't change the way this chapter ends But I'll try to change the way that I live My gas mask has new cartridges i found in the dump I met a girl out there who followed me home And Now we're playing checkers by light of the comet I think she's blind in one eye, but she don't even know it And the wild dogs are crooning songs, echo in the hills It'll probably be the moonrise before they get their fill So I hold onto my stomach while i'm jumping off this cliff Step back and take a run at it and narrowly miss Forgive me for thinking were all the same in the end Might as well back up and take a run at it again Wake up to the sound of the insects Carrying off the bones into the brush And cleaning off the remaining fragments That we were ever here at all But It doesn't change a thing about my dreams And I'm still playing guitar to my friends Life will always be for the living And the end will always be the end So I hold onto my stomach while i'm jumping off this cliff Step back and take a run at it and narrowly miss Forgive me for thinking were all the same in the end Might as well back up and take a run at it again
