lyrics

You've got to smile, and let the sun replace the moon
With low brow high ball kitten cocktail jokes all afternoon
But watch out the twilight, it's going to be here soon
And we'll all be dancing in our graves

Well we made this deal, frivolous now it seems
But try and get your money back boys for all those broken dreams
Some dissipating refund, just ash and dust and steam
and we're all just dancing in our graves

I had too many pieces
these broken shards of self importance
they all splinter and crack
synapses firing back
resenting everything you thought that I might say tonight

So you're throwing up your hands, or you're pulling out your hair
The Pearly Gates and the Golden Arches
They lose a bit of the flare
Oh Mother Mary, can't you just pretend you care
Now that I'm just dancing in my grave

Was there something more, or is that what we'd expect
I asked da Vinci and DiCaprio but they haven't answered yet
Still I try not to worry, I try not to fret
Because I'm just dancing in my grave
and we're all just dancing in our graves
Everybody's just dancing in their graves

You'll know something the others don't. The Gomorrans tarnish your soul, but in a good way. ... more
