sage francis - andy kaughman lyrics
author: sage francis
now i know it ain’t right, but i decided i hadta’ /
us poets paint life, but don’t get recognized till afta’ /
so i faked my own death just to see what would happen /
as i taje shallow breaths and wait for people’s reaction /
it was funny at first, but i had to hold my laughter… wait /
before long i was on display at an open casket wake /
and i’m the main attraction who draws a crowd. a freak show of sorts /
good thing my skin is pale enough to p-ss as a decomposing corpse /
frozen in my thoughts, laying stiff… playing with
/ people’s emotions and awaiting a kiss from praying
lips that i hate but miss.
she didn’t show… although she sent a card with flowers /
how considerate. that little b-tch would make me sit in my car for hours /
heartless powers start to devour my patience… it gets me violent /
i’m ready to fly sh-t and end everything like “i quit!”
then again i sit deathly quiet… biting my tongue /
just excited that some kids… who were invited to come did /
i’m the center of attention… the talk of the town /
it ain; t all that profound,
but on this special day of mine i’m the one the universe revolves around /
it’s like a birthday… kind of.
i also found that it’s the worst way to find love.
white doves battle black crows in one of the back rows /
and everybody my -ss knows back home is sporting black clothes /
looking glum as usual… it’s all too familliar /
i put the fun back into funeral. my morbid humor’ll kill ya’ /
for all that it’s worth… the people who i thought were jerks /
were putting on the water works and it sorta hurts /
my momma stroked my hair with so much care but hardly spoke /
now my heart is broke, and yeah… i should’ve let her in on the joke /
but i’m honestly choked up, and i’m stuck holding back my tears /
as i absorb the atmosphere, “i wanna turn back i’m scared!”
then a hand touches my shoulder to calm my nerves /
and something odd occurs because i heard my father’s words /
so i got disturbed… as he expressed what he’s never said /
what bothered me the most is that i remembered… he’s dead /
i manifested destiny. the best and worst of worlds has come true /
as i’m buried alive, in the back of my mind echoes his words:
“i love you.”
