Somewhere for the Wolves

lyrics

your head is held on by one rusty screw there's no shrink alive gonna get to the bottom of you there's no fountain tucked away in the jungle that'll make you feel brand new on the day that i finally cannot get up from down don't bother to dig a hole in the cold and rocky ground chuck me down a gully or prop me against a tree somewhere the wolves can get to me there's nothing true you don't already know there's no gipsy magic gonna help you dodge the toll there's no statue anywhere might help to save your soul toss me in the ocean, feed me to the fish lower me down the well where the children go to wish throw me down a mountain, sink me in the muck lay me in the bed of a stranger's pickup truck day will come we'll leave without the things that made us care but for now i'm gonna make a home out there there's no string of letters with a code to crack that will set you free tattooed on your lover there's no lonely monk on a mountaintop in the wind waiting to be found there's just what's in front of you and what you left behind steal my body from the morgue if the cops found me first take me to that valley where the wild things slake their thirst find the biggest goddamn boulder and put me in the lee somewhere the wolves can get to me hollow out my bones for the bees to build a hive make my corpse a home for the shit that's still alive i'll be worth a damn on the day that comes to pass but for now i'm gonna make these moments last there's one rusty screw that holds on your head your guts are held inside of you by a single fraying thread you've got just what's in front of you and what you left behind don't put me in the graveyard don't play the coroner's games i'd rather haunt those distant hills that never asked for names one day we'll be dancing in the ruin of what we thought was real but for now i'm gonna find something to feel on the day that i finally cannot get up from down don't bother to dig a hole in the cold and rocky ground chuck me down a gully or prop me against a tree somewhere the wolves can get to me
