mama lay me down this christmas
my daddy died this morning ninety-three
i taped my bed in plastic wrap this morning
to protect it from the lice that's eating me

i don't know why i like to keep on living
life's been hell on this eulogy
the rust from the nail that they nailed in my head
is hurting me again
another one of life's little miserys

maybe i'll get the nail out
maybe i won't
maybe i will
mabe i'll get the nail out
before it eats the rest of me
this isn't just a fantasy...

another wave falls towards the ocean
the ocean ***** are eating me again
she's somewhere here on the shores with the sunlight in her hair
pretending that she's meeting her old man

i fell in the love with the queen of the oceans
and i'll never say her name
for no man should have to go through that much rain again
on this the planet earth ever again
