Monument Lyrics by Gas Huffer

Lemonade For Vampires

2005

I dreamt I saw a monument
Erected in my name
The mayor was there
To cut the ribbon
Still nobody came
The pond was
Stocked with fishes
Hand-selected
One by one
Refreshments for
A thousand set there
Spoiling in the sun
Sculptors from Italy
Carving a marble for me
Incredibly lifelike hair
Read the inscription there
Donated all his time
Concocting silly rhymes
And waiting for
The dinner bell to chime
It was a snow-white edifice
All flecked with
Gold and green
But when they
Pulled the curtain
There was no one
To be seen
The wind blew long and cold
Between the chairs
Arranged in rows
The only thing upon them
Were the streamers
And the bows
Sculptors from Italy
Carving a marble for me
Incredibly lifelike hair
Read the inscription there
Donated all his time
Concocting silly rhymes
And waiting for
The dinner bell to chime
The mayor packed up
His scissors
And removed
His beaver hat
He figured
He should go
The Veuve Clicquot
Had all gone flat
The keynote speaker
Took one look
And got back
In the cab
His words already etched
Upon that alabaster slab
