Everyone's Dying (Grandma's Drunk Again)

Grandma's drunk again, passed out in her soup The rats are singin', there's asbestos in the roof Mr. Perkins in the front yard with his gun The kids are cryin' as he points it at the sun I smell pollen where the grass still lives Standin' on the mezzanine, chokin' on my spit I still wonder why they live like this It seems like everyone's dyin' She killed her husband 'cause he loved her like a whore They say the flowers grew the day she dumped the corpse She drowns herself inside her Tylenol and pills Says she could've been an actress in a film But I smell pollen where the grass still lives Standin' on the mezzanine, chokin' on my spit I still wonder why they live like this It seems like everyone's dyin' This town is dyin' Why are they like this? God, keeps on lyin' They'll try to hide it They're setting fires to the churches tonight The shadows dance on the wall Waitin' for the answers to their calls
