lyrics

"Well your voice glows and your heart sings!"
were 8 of the last words my uncle ever said to me
and then he walked off into the darkness
different philosophical voices in his head
from my relatives
you're not gonna be dead
you're gonna come back to life
to or be realized
as some sort of magic man who flies
who flies
with wings

They said he was a fighter
but that was a lie
you know he'd never won a fight in his life
they said he didn't know how to quit
but he knew just fine
that was just
something that was said
to be nice

Well then after he died
well I went outside
and they needed time
to make him look more alive
a moment I'd like to forget
when I met the grandfather I'd never met
he said boy do I need a cigarette
I thought you stupid son of a bitch
I wish you'd never ever
O met my grandmother
O never ever
ever ever
O fucked my grandmother
O never

The day my uncle died
different people
hugging eachother
though they hated eachother
hiding in the corner
I'm hiding the corner...
you can find me in the corner...
I'm there in the corner...
