Looking Pale
Death is anonymous carved on a stone
but not with warts or splintered bones
or a long-distance telephone
and the newspaper is not being delivered
but the Shriners had a masquerade ball
on top of your old head's caul
a narcissistic rainbow just shat on your stone
and the raven is chewing at your coffin's nails
looking mighty pale, because Im past due in hell
but not with warts or splintered bones
or a long-distance telephone
and the newspaper is not being delivered
but the Shriners had a masquerade ball
on top of your old head's caul
a narcissistic rainbow just shat on your stone
and the raven is chewing at your coffin's nails
looking mighty pale, because Im past due in hell
