Pole Dancing 4 Funerals

It was a great time for sci fi
It was a great time for power tools
Me and the kids hunt wild dogs
Through the ashes of public schools
This used to be a Wal Mart
I used to pick the condoms off the rack
It was a great time for mattresses
In basements that smell like crack
In basements that smell like crack

It was a great time in the TV room
In the Albany Med Psych Ward
Me and the boys all laugh
When the cop finds his wife’s head
Wrapped in cardboard
This used to be a band in a room
Now I just sing out of tune
If you squint hard enough thе fluorescent lights
Look just that damn fool moon
Look just that damn fool moon

Turn this one up at thе strip club
After my funeral
When you’re drunk wet parking lots
Look impossibly beautiful

High Falls, New Paltz
Livingston, Kingston
Cohoes, Cairo
Coxsackie, Poughkeepsie
Stripper Names, Fallen Rain
It all sounds the same
It’s the same sad music to me

It was a great time for Klonopin
Ketamine, Adderall, Vicodin
Hope my kid never tells her friends
Dad’s gone he tried to kill himself again
This used to be my childhood home
Now it’s a Dunkin’ Donuts
Used to sleep right there with a purple raccoon
Next to the bowl of cigarette butts
Next to the bowl of cigarette butts

Turn this one up at the strip club
After my funeral
When you’re drunk wet parking lots
Look impossibly beautiful

Pall Mall, menthoyl
Pueblo, Marlboro
Spirits, Maverick
Kools, Camel Light
Newport, Lucky Strike
They all sound like
Mhmmhm sha nah nah

I was trying to get some sleep in this ER hallway
When two twins walked in, hollering
One said “I’m alright”
The other said “April fools!”
And I said “This must be my life
Shit, this must be my life.”
Maybe it’s your life too

High Falls, New Paltz
Livingston, Kingston
Cohoes, Cairo
Coxsackie, Poughkeepsie
Stripper Names, Fallen Rain
It all sounds the same
It’s the same sad music to me
