lyrics

Humming the Dead while I’m in bed
After my nineteen hours in the warehouse
Thinking of all my friends and the ball
That we’re gonna have when I get back to town

Droning machines replacing my sleep
I’ve been dreaming the same dream every night
I’ll never forget the thing that Emily said
“There’s no feeling high when you’re living the low life”

Three cheers for the bottom shelf
It alway looks the best on a barstool by yourself
A twenty second sentence can determine your whole life
Let’s write a eulogy and sing it for the night

There’s Southern stars still on parade
Flown by egomaniac meter-maids
One of those killed Sam DuBose
Suppose you’ll tell me he had it coming either way

Say what you like, your new diatribe
It seems like your mid is changing every week
No one listens to reason when the money is speaking
there’s no justice is just is what it is


Three cheers for the bottom shelf
It alway looks the best in a birdcage by yourself
A twenty second sentence can determine your whole life
Let’s write a eulogy and sing it for the night

A crack in your bones, nothing to show
For all those miles we walked in the village
Hollow tones, falling dominoes
I caught a glimpse of the promised land with double vision

I don’t know what to do with myself in this room
So we hold on to the stereo like a hymnal
In the bright light of day I can’t find a way
But when the sun goes down the decision is simple

Three cheers for the bottom shelf
It alway looks the best in a birdcage by yourself
A twenty second sentence can determine your whole life
Let’s write a eulogy and sing it for the night
