The Death Posture

(album: Midwest Monsters - 2012)

Ladies and Gentelman, The Death Posture

My father was a bank robber down in tarrahole
My father was a hmmmm well I don't know
And I've had these cold cuffs clamped around my wrists a hundred times
I guess that I'm an outlaw, I live and breathe crime

Put on your faces, dress yourselves up
Take your places, they're about to pull the curtain up

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the show
I promise amazement, but it's more real than you know
Personally I hate it and you watching me grow
But you paid and stood in line just to say you weren't told

My woman up and left me again for the last time
Someone went and told her about this cheating heart of mine
And it's hard to hold it together every year around this time
I guess you call it lovesick, I just can't walk the line

Put on your faces, dress yourselves up
Take your places, they're about to pull the curtain up

Ladies and Gentlemen, o welcome to the show
I promise amazement, but it's more real than you know
Personally I hate it and you watching me grow
But you paid and stood in line just to say you weren't told

I feel like when I'm dead, I'll still be striking pose
I feel like I'm in line but last in line to sell my soul
Ladies and Gentlemen!

Ladies and Gentlemen, o welcome to the show
It's chilling, but it's more real than you know
I can't fucking stand it, you watching me grow
But you paid and stood in line just to say you weren't told
