Emma Lyrics - Good Mourning - Alkaline Trio

Emma appeared like an angel 

Emma fell like rain 

Into my lap like a heart attack 

Like lightning from her name 

I'm running dry of bad excuses 

Don't want to lie or seem intrusive 

But time hasn't told me anything 

And neither has she 

A poinsettia in poison rain 

Traded true love for insult and injury 

We washed it down the drain 

With one silver bullet and two Vicodin

Emma woke up in darkness 

Suitcase already packed 

Note on the bedstand signed in blood 

Sincerely, never coming back 

A nightmare on my street the day she arrived 

A nightmarish household in which she died 

Because it made her feel at home 

Somehow made me feel at home 

A poinsettia in poison rain 

Traded true love for insult and injury 

We washed it down the drain 

With one wooden stake through the heart and two Vicodin 

A poinsettia in poison rain 

Traded true love for insult and injury 

We washed it down the drain 

With one silver bullet and two Vicodin

We watched the sun fall crown 

On a city that sleeps in a world upside down 

A slow ticket straight out of town 

You went out with a bang when you took with you all my dreams underground 

With you all my dreams underground
