lyrics

You forget I keep a suitcase
Underneath your iron bed,
That I’ll chase some peace of mind
Until the hour I drop down dead.
If you find that tragic, darlin’
Just wait ‘til I sang the rest,
‘Til I turn this hammer ‘round,
Mine piece of mind from my own head.

Shake my hand, it’s like an oyster
Lying in its brackish bed,
Cut you ribbons like a razor
Stepping on it unaware.
Sometimes I stand in front of mirrors,
Try to dig the shape I’m in,
When they’ve shattered, I must wonder,
Who’s reflecting, who’s staring?

Peace of mind can come in spoonfuls,
Peace of mind can come in coins,
Peace of mind can come in capsules,
Broken open and destroyed.
Pack a suitcase full of punches
To be thrown at William Tell,
I look forward to the night
He sends my body down to hell.

Shake my hand, it’s like an oyster
Lying in its brackish bed,
Cut you ribbons like a razor
Stepping on it unaware.
Sometimes I stand in front of mirrors,
Try to dig the shape I’m in,
When they shatter, I must wonder,
Who’s reflecting, who’s staring?
