Lyrics: 'Love Song At The End Of A Rope'

Introduction by the Author

FIRST LINE'S A REFERENCE TO THE FAMOUS GETTYSBURG ADDRESS... THIS SONG IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW I'M EQUALLY AS SERIOUS AS I AM NOT... SERIOUS. ITS SUNG BY A MAN HANGING BY THE NECK, IN THE SECOND WHEN WORD SAYS 'YOUR LIFE FLASHES BEFORE YOUR EYES'... ONLY I DIDN'T USE THAT CLICHE, I WROTE THIS INSTEAD:

Love Song At The End Of A Rope

Four score and heartache ago
Butchered and bargained to know
The length and the love of my life
Trees have hands and they’re coming alive!

And now I’m going black and blue
And I'm not fit to see you.

I would give a thumbs up
But my thumb's falling off
Oh it hangs from a thread
Tenuous at best

I lie asleep on the rack
There's bodies asleep on my back...
Coins in the hollows...
Light in the gutter..

Now I’m going black and blue,
And I’m not fit to see you...
And so pull off my arms
If you’re strong enough
String me up, baby
I’m in nature & I’m in love...
Squeeze out my eyes
And make me surprised
Eat me for lunch
I am nature and I’m in love...

I numbered among your dead
Shouldered up above your head
A victim of a shady past
And a flag at half-mast

And now I’m black and blue
And I’m not fit to see you
So bring me a quill
Bring me a sheet
What do I own
I can bequeath
Lay me a bed
Leave me in peace
Return me to nature
Return me and leave...
