Mourning Dove

Mourning dove flies
Your muppet bird
You’re not tired from work
Illiterate puzzle tomb, still smarts
Kill heart
With your poison
Oh you pray to your god
And you’re mystified by immortal
Cheap trick from an alien fraud
You aid and you bleed
Like an ape with a scythe and a manger
Crowded around all the radiant light
I got the dorian mode and my video game
Alone in my room with my mistake
Only time I could remember those sterile white walls was when
We went to say goodbye to my great-grandma
Hospital gowns and my little brother’s crying
Cause our mother trid again to take the easy way out
Tn years old and the doctor said, «Son, you’ve got to be the man of the house
now»
Oh you pray to your god
And you’re mystified by immortal
Cheap trick from an alien fraud
You aid and you bleed
Like an ape with a scythe and a manger
Crowded around all the radiant light
I still got the pentatonic scale and my video game
Alone in my room with my mistake
Only thing that I remember was the floral wall paper
When we went to say goodbye to my great-grandmother
Hospital gowns and my little brother’s crying
Cause our mother tried again to take the easy way out
Ten years old and the doctor said, «Son, you’ve got to be the man of the house
now»
Break down I play the part
