Tears of a Headless Man


Lipless quiver, armless shiver, pizza man with crust but got no pie to deliver
River bed napper with a mad woman slapper. I know you think it may be cruel
but at least he doesn’t cap her.
Control flies out the window and then it shatters on the ground we got a
A treed up raccoon without bullet or a hound and then we’ll
cry ourselves to sleep amongst the silent of the day cause
We forget to ask directions, at the toll bridge, didn’t pay.
A pat upon our shoulders where rationality was found but now our
minds are getting mushy with our thoughts upon the ground
we got no money in our pockets cause the boss gave us the can
Explosions running rampant. Tears of a headless man.

School day stumble, backyard rumble, Building blocks up in our bedrooms
till like jenga there’s a tumble
And we can’t even imagine what it’s like to live up there cause they told us
life aint easy and it really isn’t fair but we can
see it in the distance bout a million miles away we
do it on our own or we get on our knees and pray
Once we’re up “shut up your feelings! You’re way too far above your league.” You start
to think you might give up to just quit out on this fatigue. but you
can’t. you just know it. there has got to be a way but for now
you’re stuck here wishing for more than minimum wage pay.
There’s a million others out there. from New Brunswick to Japan
Dreaming higher than the clouds and with tears of a headless man.

Dragon wizard, warlock lizard, salt and pepper shakers on the tv there’s a blizzard
Cause the boat is on the river but the house is in the field and there’s a
beam of solid daisies blocked by Tarzan with a shield. and the
kitten’s in the box and he’s got poison on his jaws but we’ll
never see him die. we’ll never look at what he daws.
The bios eats the zoe with his back against the crowd while we
spend our time not looking, too afraid of what we’d found
like the news of 1933 was only the depression. like the
views beyond our lcd encourages viewer discretion just as the
the wizard standing upstage raises zombie Taliban wile we
ignore it till the reign falls down like tears of a headless man.
