verse 1
I need to find somebody who can tear me away
From the car crying babies and switchblade days
The bark of the unemployment hounds
And the thought of the thick, white skull on the ground
C *
To be laid to rest in the wake of the faded town
verse 2
And if the raincoats come to steal my home
There's a big white house at the end of the road
I can see you wrapped in Egyptian thread
In a marble garden, immune to the mess
C *
We could finally make your father proud
Pre-Chorus
C *
I want to die like a rich boy diving
In a hydro-codone dream
C *
Oh how the magazines will grieve
I'll die like a rich boy bathing
In a milk bath I could drown
C *
Even if we're as poor as we are now
I want to die like a rich boy drowning
In a lake that bears my name
C *
Flushed and radiant with fame
I wanna lie in a state on the TV
In a golden cardboard crown
C *
Even if we're as poor as we are now
verse 3/Outro
Well I found you now so tear me away
From the feral street they lumped us in
I'll be Shakespeare's moon-struck king
We can lose our minds at the top of the hill
C *
Way into the night and beyond the grave
