We all move stiffly around the body
  and whisper gentle sorry for your loss
  while looking for an exit from death to
  join the living with sign of the cross.
I'm done with wedding rings,
babies and any other things
that make me walk the plank,
dead still living in a blank,
still pay interest to the bank.
I die with no one to thank.
Katie
I was your tiny prisoner
until I burst on the scene
let me out or I'll escape
by the scalpel into being.
Pull me out of deep water
avoid the lung's slaughter
I love you all it is true
help me as I turn blue
save me from the grave.
I will die land of brave.
Falling in love is wonderful.
Staying in love is impossible.
Spin the wheel and make a bet
where do you land on roulette?
On top you eat Filet Mignon
bottom maggots feast at dawn.
Raised glasses troops back home,
  five dames toasting a new need.
  Maybe tomorrow's no more alone.
  Wombs hoping for a lover's seed.
