Jeffrey Lewis - Graveyard lyrics

well there's blackbirds on the turnpike in the midnight sun there's roosters on the railroad look out, here they come! the sun went down three days ago & it don't look like it's coming up too soon but i'm walking like a werefolf & i've got my compa** pointed at the moon when my daddy was a-dyin' on his d**h bed he said "son don't you never choose to chew no voodoo flavored bubble gum" but i chawed myself a jawful & i blew a bubble shaped just like a skull it laughed & bit the head off of a baby before flyin' off to hell oh dolly mae i'm sad & i can't understand the way that these birds pa** before my eye they look like water in the sky if they ask, just tell 'em i'm living in the graveyard well the moon became a mirror & it fell down from the sky it melted through my vison & it landed in my eye i went to see the shaman & he turned my head into the face of an old man i went to see the shaman & he smashed my face to dust with his bare hand i fell down off the mountain i got stung by a snake i ate a moldy cobweb i puked into the lake tied my shoes with tadpoles & i climbed the weirdest tree that i could find & i sat there for a hundred million years without a darn thing on my mind oh dolly mae i am sad & i can't understand the way that these birds pa** before my eye they look like water in the sky if they ask, just tell'em i'm livin' in the graveyard there's wolves the size of raindrops & they smash out thru your face spiders big as horses runnin' all over the place i wanna build a barn to put my momma in to keep her out of sight put a padlock on the graveyard & go swimming in the black lagoon tonight well now i hear a knocking, knocking on my old back door there's a dead dog in the basement, fire on the second floor the refrigerator's full of blood & this'll be the last you hear from me cuz by this time tomorrow i'll be hitch-hikin' down route infinty.
