lyrics

( ( ( LAST LAUGH ) ) )

I’m gonna be the one who finally decides
the ways and means by which I choose to die
take my last breath, put pennies on my eyes
lay me low and flick out the lights

But don’t carve my headstone
‘cause the flesh draped over my bones
is thick, and I shed it
leave it rot then I forget it
and it bakes in the sun
and then I’m on the run
leave it rot, and I forget it
and it rots and I forget it

Last laugh
I bask in the rock

Gaze upon vast, red sands
I am the ruler of this land
of rocks and stones and cattle bones
pillars of granite are adorned
with cactus’ thick and fickle thorn
I am above upon my throne

And you suck, at my skin
for the moisture found within
and you suck, but you starve
and I rule

‘cause I’m gonna be the one who finally decides
the ways and means by which I choose to die
take my last breath, put pennies on my eyes
lay me low and flick out the lights

But don’t carve my headstone
‘cause the flesh draped over my bones
is thick, and I shed it
leave it rot then I forget it
and it bakes in the sun
and I’m on the run
and it rots and I forget it
and it rots and I forget it
