lyrics

I was downtown, near 65 ½ Third Street. I was feeling confused. I mean I wasn’t confused about where I was but I was feeling confused about who I was. I thought to myself, “Here I am in this city full of freaks dancing and chomping on licorice. They all know who they are and what they want and I can’t seem to figure it out.” So I called Ivy and she said, “Let’s go for a midnight walk at the graveyard.” So on my way over there I walked past 32 Second Street, and some bands were playing a house show. I poked my head inside.

I didn’t show up here just to float around
I’m gonna look up at the sky and plant my feet on the ground
I don’t mind if I’m another useless piece of history cause I just want to dive head first into an endless mystery

“Interesting,” I thought, “I’m gonna think more about that later.” I met Ivy at the Cemetery Gates. She said, “Dead people don’t have to think. You could learn a lot from them.” I thought to myself, “That’s not helpful.” We wandered amongst the tombstones with only the light of the full moon to guide us. I came across the grave for Moe Sampson, which said, “Struck by a meteorite, but died of cancer.” Before I could think too hard about that we walked past a sign that said “Straight ahead for the 36th annual meeting of the Cheap City Gravedigger’s Choral Union,” and off in the distance, this is what we heard:

The singers were standing in a giant circle and they were all holding shovels. They raised the shovels into the air and started swinging them around above their heads like little helicopters. Ivy said, “We should leave these weirdos alone. They’re having a good time.” So I told her about the bands playing down the street.

I didn’t show up here just to float around
I’m gonna look up at the sky and plant my feet on the ground
I don’t mind if I’m another useless piece of history cause I just want to dive head first into an endless mystery
I don’t mind if I’m another useless piece of history cause I just want to dive head first into an endless mystery
