Water The Boneyard Lyrics - Singles - Sincerely, Dead

I'm gonna buy a gun, 

so I can end it any time I want, 

and laugh as I blow it away, 

funny as an atom bomb, 

solemn as a child at a ticker tape parade, 

black clothes on a sunny day. 

Drink it down, 

and break the glass for me, 

I'm so much older than the boy I was, 

and half the man I used to be. 

Lay me out, 

I'm in my sunday best, 

why don't you take a bow and say a prayer, 

when you put my memory to rest. 

He's gonna be a man, 

trade tennis shoes for combat boots, 

slingshot for a machine gun in his hands. 

she's gonna work at a desk, 

as good as any man and better at their best, 

do I look smaller in a dress. 

Light me up like fireworks, 

I never gave a fuck or cared much when it hurt, 

but now it's just too close to my core, 

she's a whore and he's her man, 

stitch me up so I can stand, 

rub our stony hearts together, 

to spark and burn the feathers from our backs.
