the myth of ken - i want to build my own coffin lyrics

[verse 1]
balsa, birch, mahogany linings
silk on the pillow; gold on the siding
handles of silver engraved with my name
a counter on the cover tracking visits to my grave
i wanna build my own coffin just to spite you
i want to be the only one bragging bout a size issue
i wanna drag it round town to the parlors
and show them they won’t get a cent from me i’m harbored
no matter costs or the looks from the neighbors
i’ll be hammering and sawing and putting in the labors
i’m gonna build the best coffin in town
and then i’ll open up the cover to just f-ck off and lie down

[chorus]
i want to build my own coffin don’t you?
i’m so excited to go shopping, aren’t you?
i’m getting wood and fabric and wires
i’m building my own coffin! think higher

[verse 2]
okay wood is out metal is in
turning nuts and bolts to the rhythm of dropped tin
i’ve got an engine; 3 wheels for a start
i’m building my own car crash from broken parts
i need some blood i guess my own can do fine
i need some oil guess somebodys got a cut line
this door goes here; this brakepad never worked
send me a part of your relative’s injuries lemme go get what i need to convert
i’m blackened; shirts ripped; ribs are crushed
i’m stackin’ body parts bins are flushed
i’m lackin’ audience bring the fuss
car crash! come see mine with us

[chorus]
i want to build my own car crash don’t you?
i’m so excited to go shopping, aren’t you?
i’m getting metal and fabric and wires
i’m building my own car crash! think higher

[verse 3]
okay 1936, 1937
took ’em thirteen months or more; i can do it in eleven
several cans of helium and hydrogen combined
a couple of sparks and matches and the hindenburg will soon be mine
you wanted higher? i’ve got stratospheric on the mind
so felonic even your cat’ll hear it across the line
you can say auf weidersehen to everyone you know fraulein
cuz where we’re going won’t be anybody movin’ undermine
41 meters? i guess the goal is 42
if you’re strictly platonic i guess i’m isotopic too
when the fire is rising what the h-ll am i supposed to do
guess i’m heading down nose-first; fire and flames ensue

[chorus]
i went and built my own disaster, won’t you?
you’re so excited to go shopping, aren’t you?
you’re getting cannisters and nuclear explosives
you’re building your own meltdown! let’s calm down now
