Post Humorous

(album: Orca - 2020)

Old friend, it's me and you again
And oh boy, as me and you rejoice
Yeah, I can't help thinking 'bout the way we joked
In those funeral homes, yeah, I could only hope
It was appropriate

So make me laugh, as for my last request
If I don't take it back, would you ignore my last request?
Oh, would you make me laugh, as for my last request?
Babe, I won't make it back, yeah, I am sure there's nothing left

But as a, a reminder, ready when you find her
I repress the iridescence of a fire
And won't you mind him? Steady when you find him
I confess the incandescence of a dying light
Oh oh, oh oh
Consume me through the night

Old man, I'm done always abiding by the plan
And oh boy, we knew you really never had a choice
But I can't help thinking 'bout the way we loved
I was cancer then, now I can hardly come to terms
Losing her

So would you make me laugh, as for my last request?
Babe, I won't make it back, yeah, I am sure there's nothing left

But as a, a reminder, ready when you find her
I repress the iridescence of a fire
And won't you mind him? Steady when you find him
I confess the incandescence of a dying light
Oh oh, oh oh
Consume me through the night
Oh oh, oh oh

If I was the king of the thing
Yeah, you can have it all
If you lied and called me your queen
Then you can have the dogs
If I was the swingingest thing
Then you can have a ball
Show me one more effort
Boy, you know that I could make it better
If I was the king of the thing
Then you can have it all
If you lied and called me your queen
Then you can have the dogs
And if I was the only thing you couldn't bear to lose
I'd set fire to the wood
Just so you wouldn't have to bury me too

A reminder, ready when you find her
I repress the iridescence of a fire
And won't you mind him? Steady when you find him
I confess the incandescence of a dying light
A reminder, ready when you find her
I repress the iridescence of a fire
And won't you mind him? Steady when you find him
I confess the incandescence of a dying light
Oh oh, oh oh
Consume me through the night
Oh oh, oh oh
Consume me through the night
