lyrics

COLD GRAY TOMBSTONE

WELL MY HEAD BEATS STRONGER
STRONGER THAN THE HEART
TODAY I’M SHAVING DRY MY GUTS
WITH THE RAZOR OF A TRAMP
DAYS ARE FALLING DOWN LIKE WASTE
PUSHIN’ ME DOWN TO SOIL
THINK IT’S TIME TO ORDER (NOW) MY COLD
MY COLD GRAY TOMBSTONE

“EVERY WOUND IS A TREASURE”
I HEAR THE PREACHER SAYS
I MUST BE THE RICHEST MAN
IN THE TOWN OF MISERY
BUT IT HURTS WHEN I WAKE UP
AND IT HURTS WHEN I LIE DOWN
AND I HEAR THEY’RE HITTIN’ IN MY COLD
MY COLD GRAY TOMBSTONE

ROLLIN’ DOWN THE GROUND
IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO
DON’T WORRY, I KNOW A SIX-FOOT-HOLE
IS THE END OF THE ROAD
SKY WILL CLOSE AND SUN WILL GOES
AND THE GROUND BENEATH MY FEET
WILL OPEN FOR ANYONE TO PLACE
MY COLD GRAY TOMBSTONE

“ROMANCE IS FOR YOUNG MEN”
I HEAR THE OLDER SAYS
I GUESS YOU CAN’T TAKE CARE
WHEN YOU’RE COUNTING THE DAYS
I HAVE A PACK OF WET SMILES
TIED WITH RIBBONS OF GOLD
THAT WILL ROT AND ROT BELOW MY COLD
MY COLD GRAY TOMBSTONE

OUT OF TOWN, DOWN IN THE MEADOWS
THE SUN IS DRAWING WIDOWS
WASTING TIME BETWEEN THE STONES
AND AMONG THE WEEPING WILLOWS
THERE’S A PLACE FOR EACH OF THEM
AND THERE’S ONE FOR ME TOO
IN THE END EVERYBODY’S GOT
A COLD GREY TOMBSTONE
