Grandma's drunk again passed out in her soup
The rats are singing
There's asbestos in the roof
Mr. Perkins in the front yard with his gun
The kids are crying as he points it at the sun
I smell pollen where the grass still lives
Standing on the mezzanine
Choking on my spit
I still wonder why they live like this
It seems like everyone's dying
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
She killed her husband
Cuz he loved her like a whore
They say the flowers grew
The day she dumped the corpse
She drowns herself inside her Tylenol and pills
Says she could have been an actress in a film
I smell pollen where the grass still lives
Standing on the mezzanine
Choking on my spit
I still wonder why they live like this
It seems like everyone's dying
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
This town is dying
Why are they like this
God keeps on lying
They'll try to hide it
Their setting fire to the churches tonight
The shadows dance on the wall
Waiting for the answers to their call
