Wooden Crosses Lyrics by Mishka Shubaly

When We Were Animals

2018

[Verse 1]
Wooden crosses, roadside graves
White crosses at the Gas n’ Save
Six million ways to come undone
Six million ways and it takes only one
[Verse 2]
Perverts lined up, the degradation arcade
I haven’t slept in forty days
I dreamed that I called you, I wish I could call
But mostly I dream about alcohol
[Chorus]
I saw you in your hospital bed
I saw you in your wedding dress
Memories squirm like a carpet of pythons
They rise up to strike then they’re gone
[Verse 3]
Sweet gasoline, concrete island
Blue Listerine truck-stop violence
I built you this song out of dreams that expired
I built you this song so you’ll know that I’m tired
Tired of dive bars and punk clubs and hotels
Tired of strangers with questionable motives
I don’t want to be here and you don’t want me here
So let’s all close our eyes and watch me disappear
I’ll disappear
[Chorus]
I saw you in your hospital bed
I saw you in your wedding dress
Memories squirm like a carpet of pythons
They rise up to strike then they’re gone
