Skeleton Corsage Lyrics

You know it's bad when you can't sleep and you can't talk right anymore

You know it's taking a wrong turn when your key doesn't fit the door

And they'll tell you it's all good before they come and ask for more

It isn't right or wrong or gray when you don't recall your own name

It isn't floating off in space when you can't see yourself the same

And they'll tell you it's all good before they leave you with the blame

Just last night I met a ghost who wore a daffodil corsage

That same night I parked my car in an unregistered garage

And they said I was so good before they bade me bonvoyage

When I was young I had a friend who had a friend who looked like me

When I got old it seemed the friend who was the friend could not be seen

Til at the end of every bent and broken dream she came to me

Time is a snake that eats its twin and yet they sometimes share a name

If you start thinking you won't die you only have yourself to blame

You either laugh or else you cry or you go dancing in the rain
