The Funeral - King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

I can't leave my bed but I can't sleep I got no clean clothes and I can't eat And I smoke too much 'til I can't breathe I'm emotional, I'll always be And I hate myself, but that's alright And I love myself, but that's alright And I tell myself that it's alright That I dream about the day I die To my surprise, there's no one to blame Nobody came, what a shame, shame, shame I've been dancing at my funeral Waitin' for you to arrive I was hoping you'd look beautiful Dancin' with tears in your eyes But nobody came, what a shame, shame, shame My hair fell out 'cause I dyed it cheap I want a real fake smile, but I hate my teeth I wanna tell you that I love you, but I just can't speak I got a fucked-up soul and an STD Do you hate yourself? Well, that's alright Do you love yourself? Well, that's alright Do you tell yourself that it's alright That you dream about the day you die? To my surprise, there's no one to blame Nobody came, what a shame, shame, shame I've been dancing at my funeral Waitin' for you to arrive I was hoping you'd look beautiful Dancin' with tears in your eyes But nobody came, what a shame, shame, shame Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh I wanna prove my love before I leave I wanna make you come and scrape my knees Want you to bite my tongue until I bleed And you can put these fuckin' words in my obituary We all hate ourselves, well, that's alright We all love ourselves, well, that's alright We all tell ourselves that it's alright That we dream about the day we die I've been dancing at my funeral Waitin' for you to arrive I was hoping you'd look beautiful Dancin' with tears in your eyes But nobody came, what a shame, shame, shame Nobody came, what a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame!

Now that I'm gone will you come visit me And leave some roses by my misery Bury my soul 6 Feet deep You can say nice shit like I meant something I'm already numb I don't feel the sting So touch who you want You'll just wish it's me Cause you gave up after everything And I think that you got off way too easy Cut me off And now you blossom I'm in the ground And my bones are rotting At least when I'm dead I'll be forgotten I'm a zombie but I'm still alive I feel like I'm dead cause you gave me life It feels really bad with you out of my life When I turned my back Guess you had a knife Now I toss and I turn in a lonely grave I drown in the blood of our memory I wish when we split that the feeling was mutual Fuck a heartbreak song this is a funeral Oo Oo Yeah Oo Oo Yeah Yeah Yeah I put our memories in a basket and burned it You closed up the casket to hide that I'm hurting Alone in all black I'm the only one Mourning the loss of what we were Yo, fuck Stuart Little You Broke me down now I always feel nervous Cause you slit my neck and attended the service Baby we're human but we were so perfect I'm glad to find out that my presence was worthless Cut me off And now you flower Using my body like fertilizer Saying you're glad for the time we spent Is like burning a body that's not even dead I'm a zombie but I'm still alive I feel like I'm dead cause you gave me life It feels really bad with you out of my life When I turned my back Guess you had a knife Now I toss and I turn in a lonely grave I drown in the blood of our memory I wish when we split that the feeling was mutual Fuck a heartbreak song this is a funeral Oo Oo yeah This is the funeral Oo Oo Yeah Wish it was mutual Oo Oo yeah This is the funeral Oo Oo Yeah I'm a zombie but I'm still alive I feel like I'm dead cause you gave me life It feels really bad with you out of my life When I turned my back Guess you had a knife Now I toss and I turn in a lonely grave I drown in the blood of our memory I wish when we split that the feeling was mutual Fuck a heartbreak song this is a funeral

You wait by the window Morning's breath on the sill Idle hands given another try So you wait and you savour the moment Outside the canvas turned white Ruby eyes in the fog Rain washing clean all the sins A liquid gown that covers all Your loathe turns endless Opened mirage soothes your sense Locked on the pinnacle The best secret within Like a derelict child Heart burning for a stranger Ascending to the meek Flock round the liars in awe Caked in the soil beneath Fear me when we meet Turn away in admiration My firm grip round the nucleus of joy Enough of this You will leave me now You will see it now Perish at my hands Close to you Tangled up in hair Fresh stigma looks Shall I take you with me And it is cold Ruby eyes in the fog It is me And you are just like them all Stained by the names of fathers I'm greeting my downward fall Leaving the throes to others

Death Smells like boiled eggs Death A hot stove glowing red Lava Sticky like peanut butter Lava The ultimate stonecutter Anointed in the bubbling lake Charring lungs asphyxiate Unlike quicksand, it's instant Devours whole No longer existent Pumice rain engulfs A mushroom cloud brings tumult Remains are shells Rain won't quell Earth is hell Burning flesh and melting skin I submit to the molten king The messiah deep below Give my essence to the afterglow There I'll speak to the magma lord And bathe in the warmth of the red fjord Past this life of green meadows Lava afterlife in charred plateaus The volcano is death, the lava is death Death is life, the lava is life The volcano is death, the lava is death Death is life, the lava is life The volcano is death, the lava is death Death is life, the lava is life The volcano is death, the lava is death Death is life, the lava is life The serpent is death, the serpent is death The serpent is life, the serpent is life The serpent is death, the serpent is death The serpent is life, the serpent is life The serpent is death, the serpent is death The serpent is life, the serpent is life The serpent is death, the serpent is death The serpent is life, the serpent is life The head is death, the tail is death The head is life, the tail is life The head is death, the tail is death The head is life, the tail is life The head is death, the tail is death The head is life, the tail is life The head is death, the tail is death The head is life, the tail is life The volcano is death (lava), the lava is death Death is life, the lava is life The volcano is death (lava), the lava is death Death is life, the lava is life The volcano is death (lava), the lava is death Death is life, the lava is life The volcano is death (lava), the lava is death Death is life, the lava is life The volcano is death (lava) (Death) (Lava) (Death)

The bad white men call him the devil The Yavapai call him "Eyes Like the Sky" This story takes place in the hinterlands Of the newly formed United States and territories in the years before And after the great conflagration called the Civil War Men roam and fight each other to simply stay breathing Muskets give way to repeating rifles, cannons give way to Gatling guns War nurtures weapons, weapons clear the land In the deserts of the southwest, old hatreds grow into new ones Old beliefs are shattered by gunfire and charging horses Into this cauldron of fire rides a young man who becomes a shadowed legend His name even takes on the mantle of the bogeyman in some homes Among the first Americans his name is exalted from wickiups to longhouses From tepees to cliff dwellings Among the men of the badlands, he's feared for his silent walk And swift, economical dispatching of his enemies
