Every day
Every day
I think I’m gonna die
Every day
Every day
I think I’m gonna die
But you still haven’t killed me
And I can’t imagine why
No you still haven’t killed me
And I can’t imagine why
I'm sorry I stole your woman
And lost her somewhere in Greece
I bet you'll feel much better
If she turns up in one piece
I know she left with all your dough
The day she left with me
I suppose it could have been her idea
But it might have come from me
Every day
Every day
I think I’m gonna die
Every day
Every day
I think I’m gonna die
But you still haven’t killed me
And I can’t imagine why
No you still haven’t killed me
And I can’t imagine why
You know I like the women
And the women they like me
Didn’t mean to give your momma
That S T D
When I sold your momma that liquor
I didn’t know it was bad
I really liked that woman
It should have killed your dad
Every day
Every day
I think I’m gonna die
Every day
Every day
I think I’m gonna die
But you still haven’t killed me
And I can’t imagine why
No you still haven’t killed me
And I can’t imagine why
Who knew my flaming tires
Would burn your poor house down
Or start so many fires
And raze the whole damn town
For a laugh I made some phone calls
Just pranks, not nothing more
I never guessed that one of them
Would start a nuclear war
Every day
Every day
I think I’m gonna die
Every day
Every day
I think I’m gonna die
But you still haven’t killed me
And I can’t imagine why
No you still haven’t killed me
And I can’t imagine why
Every day
Every day
I think I’m gonna die
Every day
Every day
I think I’m gonna die
But you still haven’t killed me
And I can’t imagine why
No you still haven’t killed me
And I can’t imagine why

Day Nurse
I'm a day nurse at Saint Alban's
My shift begins at ten
I always talk to the women there
And sometimes to the men
No that's not Saturday. That's your sweater.
On Monday I wash the women
Tuesday I shave the men
Wednesday I help with the feeding
Thursday it's shaving again
You saw them this morning. They gave you these flowers.
No one gets better here
Some sink like a stone
We treat them all like family
So they don't feel so alone
That's not Henri. That's your grandson.
Maybe they don't remember
A kindness forgot is still kind
Maybe they're only partly here
A mind is still a mind
The socks go on first. Then the shoes.
I'm a day nurse at Saint Alban's
My shift begins at ten
I always talk to the women there
And sometimes to the men
No that's not Saturday. That's your sweater.

Elle
I've got a stone in my shoe
And a foot in my mouth
There's a hole in my heart
Where the words stagger out
You and me and the idiot three
Watching each other on a broken TV
Touching each other with a ten foot pole
Snacking on secrets from the salad bowl
Counting the dogs and walking the sheep
Chain smoking coffee 'cause I just can't sleep
I wanted you but I didn't know how
I'd be change in your purse if then was now
I've got a stone in my shoe
And a foot in my mouth
There's a hole in my heart
Where the words stagger out
Lust to rust and greed to need
You wrapped me like a mummy and made me bleed
I found what I lost and lost what I found
I'll be hot for you in the cold cold ground
This ice is on fire and it burns like a knife
I married your memory and made it my wife
I'd pour me some death and drink it like wine
If thoughts were flesh and you were mine
I've got a stone in my soul
And a foot in my mouth
There's a hole in my heart
Where the words stagger out

Run
Run run run
No time to hide
Zombie bunny
Hopping in the weeds outside
A twitching nose
Fur that's white
Most of those
Are deadly at night
One bunny two bunny
Three bunny four
Never just one
They always make more
More and more
Run run run
No time to hide
Just one bunny
Seven people died
Bird ahead
Maybe a robin
Bloody red breast
Little head a bobbin'
Five bunny six bunny
Seven bunny eight
Spot a bunny
It's already too late
Too late
Run run run
Dark shape behind us
Kittie's gaining
Don't let her find us
I'm a space cadet
Gonna fly to the sun
No bunnies there
Not even one
Nine bunny ten bunny
Eleven bunny four
I'm a space cadet
No bunnies no more
No more
No bunnies no more
