bury me with my favorite toy
and a pillow and a blanket and things from when i was a boy
as some smart commentary about how the end
can bring us back to our youth again
and i'd like you to remember me fondly but i won't force you to
there always might be something you're keeping from me that keeps you subdued
just tell whoever's down not to take it so hard
tell them i'm smiling down on them from the stars
tell them it'll be alright
tell them it'll be alright, cause it will
there's no time for them to be sad
they've got so much life left in them still
tell them it'll be alright
tell them it'll be alright, cause it will
there's no time to be sad
there's so much life left in you still
tell them it'll be alright
and the news makes it on tape
it’s official the duct tape suits on
the couple at the prom in tiny
minnesota giving people something
to cheer for and hope for and
know as you look out the dim window
brick overcast house looking at
the children you never had and only
sometimes want why don’t they
appear in your hand just to twirl
around a little bit and call you mommy
and kiss you on the cheek to tell
you they’re sorry and love you and
you can forgive them as the tv
blares on into the sunset oh the
nyquil sunset grass overcomes
you falling down the stairs into the
solid ground you want to stand
on facing the only person you’ve ever
loved in a lonely world where you
know no one and dreaming of ferrari
heights and glamorous bodies just
grinding on you and letting them have
you and
sit for a while
they’re happy there and
fans go off while there’s no one there
you’re in the darkness
and a tv show tells you you’re sorry
you whispered “i love you, don’t worry”
