Gravestone (2019) — Sean Maloney

Round here we smoke our meth off a foil
round bails, round bails in every field
the sun shines on everyone

Humidity keeps us sticky
turkey leading its family
cross the road right in front of me

Turtles and the awful sound they make
when your wheels, wheels
turtles and the awful sound they make make
when your wheels, wheels
crush the mesquito off of your arm
crush the mesquito off of your arm

Come float the river, gangs here
got whiskey, a turkey accidently hit
cleand up, maranated
Sara said she might make it later

Got the fire started lets have fun

Day break waking the wounded
eat a dog a hair wont do it
pack up the pick up lets head out

Xanax calms down the maddness
cocain, methamphentimes
round bail, in the field
lets sit atop it, talk a bit

Stars from the sky are falling

see a trail, trail following
some men can walk on it
some men can walk on it

Some crazy men live in double wides
with crazy dogs with crazy eyes
methamphetimines, methaphetimines
rotten their insides, kidneys fried
won't make it to July

Mary aint got no little lamb
got cows, chickens, tons of them
eggs for days
eggs for days
eggs for days

Jesus, Satans in the bathroom
he's in the bathtub
he don't look good
Jesus, Satans in the bathroom
he's in the bathtub
he don't look good
Jesus
Jesus

Round here we smoke our meth off a foil
round bails, round bails in every field
the sun shines down on
everyone

The sky was blue, and I was too
lonesome for dreaming, lonesome for dreaming about you
you got to do what you got to do, do what you got to do

There's a road, headed north
I'm going to, I'm going to
do what I got to do, do what I got to do

The sky was blue, the ocean too
and in it reflecting a face I once knew
you got to do what you got to do, do what you got to do

Go have fun, break something
a bone or your heart, a bone or your heart is a start
hurts like hell, but you'll get well
just something you got to do, something you got to go through

The sky was blue and I was too
lonesome for dreaming, lonesome for dreaming for you
you got to do what you got to do
do what you got to do

Me and my make believe dragons
still run with abandon and ain't asked no ransom
not a cent from anyone

And lately been severing them poor connections,
historical friendships, ancient affections
the bridge only crossed half way
will burn, burn, burn down tonight, will burn down tonight

I hold my cards close
don't own the right clothes, to look down my nose
patches cover the holes

and man I get twisted
tangled and tied up, caught by her soft hook, a look
I can't turn away

let's dream tonight
passed the dangers of strangers, to fire enticing
brighter it's lighting, brighter it's lighting the way
and will burn, burn, burn on tonight
straight to daylight, straight to daylight

And please don't forget
when you die I get, to deal with it
the crap you left in my basement
will burn, burn, burn down tonight
it'll be a hell of sight, a hell of sight

Rose is in the bathroom smoking up that black tar
focused on the flame, her arm real scarred
Rose is in the bathroom smoking up that black tar
Rose don't give a shit, she's always been like this

She's a godamnned fire, I'm tired of putting out
this time I'm gonna save the water, this time I'm gonna save the water

In general, in general I'm a good one
till I start to drink, till I start to drink some
then watch me become, a burden to everyone

I'm a godamnned fire, she's tired of putting out
this time she's gonna save the water, this time she's gonna save the water

Mary-Ann, is walking in a field
burnt gold grass carresses her fingers
Mary-Ann, she likes to linger
where burnt gold grass caresses her fingers

She's got the godamnned fire, on a leash walking beside her
she's got the godamnned fire, on a leash walking beside her
toward the sunset, burnt gold grass caresses her finget tips
she's got the godamnned fire, on a leash walking beside her
on a leash walking beside her

Nobody calls, nobody calls on me
nobody calls anymore
cause that's not what the telephones used for
yeah, that's not what the telephones used for

Darling take a detour
darling take a detour with me
walk where I walk
breathe what I breathe
see what I see?

I see no intergrity
in the swarming crowds surrounding me
and the statue of liberty, aint' what it used to be
ain't what it used to be no more
we don't want people knocking down our door
we don't want people knocking down our door
scared and don't know why for

Nobody sings
nobody sing no more, nobody sings no more
but ain't that what your vocal chords are for?
but ain't that what your vocal chords are for?

Darling take a detour
darling take a detour with me
walk where I walk
breathe what I breath
see what I see?

I see no integrity
in the swarming crownds surrounding me

and the statue of liberty, ain't what it used to be
ain't what it used to be no more
we don't want people knocking down our door
we don't want people knocking down our door

I am a happy man
happy to take all I can
happy to take all of this I can
and I plan to play
and I plan to play like a child
a fool in the parade
dancing his own way
dancing his own way

Won't you come with me
to a little place where we could be
it ain't to far and the walks pretty
won't you come with me?

We'll lay in the shade of the crab apple tree
where a stream passes diplomatically
we'll ask the watermoccins to teach
our feet to walk from dry land to wet sea

Moby Dick where are you?
we heard a lot about you
and Ahab, that month long stretch he spent in rehab
Moby Dick where are you?
we'd really like to meet you
are the ocean waters, salty tears cried by you
and what really does the moon think, of the tides it moves beneath
Moby Dick where are you?

Darling, come with me
to a little place that we could be
ain't to far and the walks pretty
darling, come with me

Raindrops slow traffic, your wipers don't panic
the smell of huckleberry reminds you of home

Weather theres fair, when the weathers well
if it gets a tummy ache ain't to hard to tell
it's the same as a child, a hot mess gone wild
we'll just wait it out, soon it will tire
and after it's over and after it's done
hesitantly look out and see the damage done

Cows are alive and there ain't no reason why
standing like fools saltwater to their eyes
John lost his roof, don't care where it gone
he'll just get another and hope that it stays on

Hangovers hurt when the alcohal is gone
so we put it into law the party must go on
rolling like a steamboat down the muddy waters
till it comes to the gulf and hits them salty waters

Food here is better than the food you eat
disagree all you want, you know I love it when you speak
got no time for foolish ettoufee
how about some gumbo, mama made it yesterday?

A funeral, a march, a dirge will play
if you got to go,we'll see you out this way

the smell of huckleberry reminds you of home

The cow don't milk, the goat will have to do
got a date tonight, got a rondevious

Gonna eat some chev, gonna eat in my chevy
in the shade of the mulberry moonbean, baby
I got the world, an oyster too
when cow don't milk, the goat will have to do

There's an old saying, saying, what I'm a telling you
you can lead a horse to water but it don't make it true
gonna climb up a mountain, gonna get myself a view
of all the little things I'm told aint true
ghosts and goblins, santa too
you can lead a horse to water but it don't make it true

Baby, baby crying load
put it under water, hide it in a towl
baby, baby crying load
should of thought better before burying that plow

The cow don't milk, the goat will have to do
got a date tonight, got a rondevious

Gonna eat some chev, gonna eat it in my chevy
in the shade of the mulberry moonbeam, baby
I got the world, an oyster too
when the cow don't milk, the goat will have to do

When you get lonesome, feeling dreary
when you get lonesome, call on me

If your boat starts to take on water
just holler for me

Was your heart taught, to love or to not
to keep or give, all you got?

Hear them drum taps, as their feet pat
grey cement cracks give you forty years bad luck

Sit up straight, please, your a lady
at least till eighteen, then do as you please

There's an old town, if you're bound
east bound, theres a pretty, little old town

Whispers, inside a day dream
in the shade of an old willow tree

Have you felt it, been a witness?
it's my buisness, confess now to me

If you get lonely, feeling dreary
if you get lonely, call on me
and if your boat starts, to take on water
just holler for me, just holler for me

I made a posse out of ghosts
dressed them in my clothes, taught them how to roll
I made a posse out of ghosts

I made a mote around my hear
to keep out those, who would wish it harm
I made a mote around my heart

I sent a promise in the dark
sent it via pigeon, to an island prison
I made a promise in the dark

I sent that low life to his grave
had to make a point, had to be that way
I sent that low life to his grave

Rain don't go just yet
you suit my mood perfect
and I want to get to know it
see if I can't out grow it
then recycle it or compost it
but either way, either way
either way I'll enjoy it

I made a posse out of ghosts
dressed them in my clothes
taught them how to roll
I made a posse out of ghost

Are you going, are you going
are you going to town with me?

There's a circus, a circus
elephants and cotton candy
there's a circus, a circus
you're telling me you don't want to see?

I've been lonely, you've been lonely
circus freaks is just what we need
cotton candy, cotton candy
elephants with chains on their feet
oh, the big top, it's lit up, it's lit up like the sun
oh, the big top, it's lit up, inviting everyone
to the circus, to the circus
to the circus who today came to town

Are you going, are you going
are you going to town with me?

Why would you resist it
why, tell me why, tell me why?
Just becase the picture isn't, how you pictured it
