i was born in the hotel double tragedy
the dust is thick and it stains the lips
it's so bad for me
i can see with my own two eyes
what you do to me
at the hotel double tragedy

you opened your eyes and you killed museum of fallen stars
you killed it for fun, you killed for fun with your eyes
you should've known that you had such sad eyes
and when you killed that museum
and laughed in the shadows with your friend the wolf
well you threw back some beers
you toasted the devil himself
he should've known that you can't see to well.
and when you threw back your hands
and you covered your face with a carousel
well it was too dark to tell
but i figured you looked like a fool
you should've known that you can't fool yourself
and when i saw you again
you were in a museum of pornography
you looked in my eyes
you told me your hands were so raw
i should've know you were above the law
you opened you mouth
and you killed a museum of innocence
there were bras on the floor
there were jock-straps behind every door
i think we all know what you're looking for
and when you killed that museum
and you swallowed your weight in regret
my suspicions where proved
by the hoof-prints found outside your door
i think we all know what he put them for
and when you threw back your head
and you swallowed a hogshead of tooth decay
well you couldn't be swayed
your resolve left us all so amazed
we all knew that it would never fade
and when i saw you again
you were in a museum of fallen leaves
well it was quite the museum
it was the finest museum i could find
you should've seen the way the crowd went wild
well i cried and i cried all night
till the little birds go oooooo they go ooooo
why'd you lie?
tell me why'd you have to lie to me like that?
don't you know it makes me cry baby
and i stay up all night
and i never get no sleep
till the little birds go ooooooo they go ooooo
well i sold my soul for a cigarette
and i want it back but i always forget
and i go oooooo and i always go ooooooo
and i sold my eyes for a peice of roast beef
i want em back but i can not see
i feel so dumb, i feel such a fool
i got nothin in my head but paper and glue
and i go oooooo and i go ooooooo

you're got buildings
i've got buildings
we've got burning buildings in our hearts
you've got children
10 bright childern
we've got tiny children in our hearts
when you covered me up completely
with a peice of dust
that you fold so neatly
underneath my skin
and you curled up completely
with your little head
tucked beneath me
and you told me what to say
i'm only lookin for some secrets
that's why i'm covered with dew
there's not much room behind this mirror
but i'll make some room for you
i only wanted to just see him
and now i know you do too
we're both just lookin to get our feet wet
it's some popular dew
you've got rivers
i've got rivers
we've got ice cold rivers in our hearts
when you covered me up completely
with a piece of dark that you held so neatly
in between your jaws

you were feeling up the glare
it was getting everywhere
stuck in teeth and eyebrow hair
you were headed to the zoo
shootin zebras two by two
wearin someone else's do
the snow will make fat men of us all

doin drugs in the morning in the cemetery grass
they found us mangled and covered in dew
there was nothing left but our laughs
we crowded around some headphones
that we found beside a grave
we put them up to our ears
and we listened to dead people bath

well my mom comes home bout a quarter past three
takes one look at me sees i'm stoned as can be
takes a whiff of the air, she falls off her high heels
and grabs hold of my hair and she says
no more smokin pot in the bathroom
well my dad comes home bout a quarter past twelve
he says to himself huh and well well well
i see my own grown son has been smokin on the herb
or that's one hell of a weird-ass smellin terd
and he says no more smokin pot in the bathroom
well my little brother comes home from dare
he says what's that wonderful smell that fills the air
well my brother bob i must declare there's this little secret
that i've been meanin to share and we were
smokin pot in the bathroom

i wanted to match your glow with an apple that i taught regret
but you smashed that fruit and you spat on my shoes
and you drew and airplane flying through my head
i might as well be dead
let those fireflies chew off my legs
cause i don't wanna ever dance no more
i wanted to make you swoon with a lightbulb that i taught to fly
but you took that bulb and you chewed it to a pulp
and you spat out fifty full grown fireflies
but it was all a lie
all those fireflies were made out of dust
and i don't wanna watch them glow no more
i wanted to make you cry with a cowboy that i taught restraint
but you snapped him in two and you buttered his boots
and you threw him out into the pouring rain
well it really ruined my day
i had to glue him back together again
and i don't think he'll ever dance no more

let’s all go to a place i know
the hotel double tragedy
it’s a famous hotel where the ghosts all go
the hotel double tragedy
the lights are low let your pulse beat slow
the hotel double tragedy
if you get out alive then the stay is free
the hotel double tragedy
but you’ll lose track of time and the days will seems like weeks
the hotel double tragedy
you will meld with the light into a brand new tragedy
the hotel double tragedy

well you live off a trumpet that you polish with blood
but you don't even like it and you only played it once
we used to be such good friends
you made fun of lovers and you made fun of dice
you made fun of me but you only did it twice
we used to be such good friends
you carry your poison like a samurai blade
you're in love with that poison you'll carry it to your grave
we used to be such good friends
you drink like a tiger in a suicide pact
if you wanna live forever you better clean up your act
we used to be such good friends

happy jawbone family band Brattleboro, Vermont
we were all born in a bathtime suicide mission. nothing was left but a pair of sunglasses that are still bleeding to this day. at the stroke of midnight you can hear them sing out of desperation.
