Skeleton Corsage

from The Myth of Snugglepuss by Quark Lepton

/

lyrics

You know it's bad when you can't sleep and you can't talk right anymore
You know it's taken a wrong turn when your key doesn't fit the door
And they'll tell you it's all good before they come and ask for more

It isn't right or wrong or grey when you don't recall your own name
It isn't floating off in space when you can't see yourself the same
And they'll tell you it's all good before they leave you with the blame

Just last night I met a ghost who wore a daffodil corsage
That same night parked my car in an unregistered garage
And they said I was so good before they bade me "bon voyage"

When I was young I had a friend who had a friend who looked like me
When I got old it seemed the friend who was the friend could not be seen
Til at the end of every bent and broken dream she came to me

Time is a snake that eats its twin and yet they sometimes share a name
If you start thinking you won't die you only have yourself to blame
You either laugh or else you cry or you go dancing in the rain
