my friend named Billy he came back to my school / saying that we weren't fun that we were no longer that cool / my friend named Billy fell apart at the seams / he said he's gonna do these things because he / joined the marines / psycho billy / he joined the marines / my friend named Billy he came back to recruit / saying that we weren't fun that we were no longer that cool and / my friend named Billy disapproved of our scene / said he's gonna see the world and shoot some things / he joined the marines / psycho billy / he joined the marines / psycho billy
I smelled a rat at the top of the world / it smelled like juniper and blueberries / I found a rat at the top of the world / medicine
I think I feel it like a turning tide / these rivers widen
I think I felt it on the day you died
Medicine
I know there's a plot at the top of the world / it's the same place where all of our family and friends are buried in old churches and cemeteries
I know there's a lot at the top of the world / a lot of medicine
I think I feel it like a turning tide / these rivers widen
I think I felt it on the day you died
I take my medicine at night
So I don't hear you scream
I take my medicine at night
It doesn't mean a thing
This ain't my skin so I shed it
I'm never going back there again
and to those fucks and their companions
I hope they're happy in the end
wait
oh yeah you'll have to wait
wide awake in a daydream finding escape in the corners of the night
I've killed myself and these stewards who were put in place to save my life
oh I feel it fading and I'm fading so fast
so tell me how you know that this won't ever last?
I know because I know
wait
you'll have to wait
you'll have to wait
I came to tie a tie / I never do it right / I came to tie a tie so let's go find a bible
It's gotta be here somewhere in lessons about life / I came to tie a tie / my catholic buddies they know why
WE ARE ALL GOING TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET
