lyrics

I keep vampire teeth in my front pocket
Cos you always liked it when I's sharp
And I learned how to beat on this ol' guitar
So I can make a home in the backbeat of yer heart

I dyed all my hair jet black
Borrowed a Misfits shirt & never gave it back
And I learned to love the Grateful Dead
And I laid with you in yer big brass bed
But you put my love in a wet paper sack

And it's hard & it's hard
Ain't it hard?
To sing a song so sad & so blue
Pining away with the memory of you

I keep jack-o-lanterns burning on my front porch
Feeding these bad habits & smoking like a torch
And there were things you taught me
I never should have learned
I tried cooking with your fire
And the whole kitchen burned

And it's hard & it's hard
Ain't it hard?
To sing a song so sad & so blue
Pining away with the memory of you

Don't this road look rough and hard?
Glinting glass and shining shards
Don't this road stretch on and on?
Next cool breeze snd I'm gone

And it's hard & it's hard
Ain't it hard?
To sing a song so sad & so blue
Pining away with the memory of you
And it's hard & it's hard
Ain't it hard?
To sing a song so sad & so blue
Pining away with the memory of you
