about

First of the Lunar Singles series of 2010

lyrics

I got a friend
underneath my skin
Though we’re never apart
I keep him in the dark

And when I’m gone
My friend will go on
Go underground
But you can’t keep a good cat down

Everybody’s got a scary monster trapped inside
Grinning ear to ear revealing teeth so smooth and white
Is it any wonder that we’re all so terrified
In the middle of the waking night?

And I say
Goodbye
I’m going to lead the good life
I used to believe I could fly
fly that close to the sun
but now I’m going home where
the babies are crying
nowhere I’d rather die than
right here
Here among my own

so everybody let you skeletons out
‘cause it doesn’t make a difference now
come on and let your sleeve hang down
from the weight of your heart so bloody
everybody let your skeletons out

looking grim
and a little thin
kept in line
by the whistles and the rhymes
we used to say
when we were alone
out on river road
Down by the gate where the old folks say
the devil can take your soul

simple mathematics multiply the great divide
suffering from catastrophic blood loss from inside
as I lay convalescing on a bed of grass and wine
like a thousand pound butterfly
