[Verse 1] Cemetery pigeons Checking out the graves Cemetery pigeons Leaving little footprints on the dirt beside the paved walkway Cemetery pigeons Are you from abroad? Do you ever think about the pigeons that you've lost? [Pre-Chorus] I don't wanna be here I don't wanna go home I don't wanna take up any more space I don't wanna just bitch and moan Cemetery pigeons, house pets of the dead Where do you go when the lake is frozen and you've got no stupid red hat for your little grey head? [Instrumental Chorus] [Verse 2] Cemetery pigeons, phantom skunks, whoa Howls and wails and necropolis snails And the young postmodern punks, exhale cigarette smoke A cold blueberry cloud During a weird brief stint, I smoked that shit On the delivery route out of town, it felt so unimportant But I really fucking tried I could do so much better if I knew how to do it, I cried While the anarchists danced and got high They sang "fuck the city" [Pre-Chorus] And I'm always caught in between One more smoky apartment And the liberal American Dream Oh, cemetery pigeons, my head is fucked If I had wings like you, I'd probably walk around with them tucked [Instrumental Chorus] [Verse 3] Cemetery pigeons, I met God She was the red couch I tripped on right through the wall And out and into the lawn With the metaheuristics The syntactic soul of the ants No more need for cars and trucks And unfortunate fucks Stuck going the same way in traffic [Instrumental Chorus] [Bridge] Party crashers crash my party I'm ready for a little bit of mystery Spit saliva in my coffee, we'll write history Oh, the sweat inside my mask drips down Into my liquor mouth The dirty covid martini is a popular drink And we're never ever gonna run out! Party crashers crash my party, put me on the radio Ants and friends and chain link fences I'm all ready to go! Oh, the sweat inside my mask drips down Into my guilty mouth The mad-dog martini is a popular drink From the north all the way to the south No matter what time you're o-o-out [Instrumental Chorus]
