Nick Lutsko
Birth at a Funeral
Ow! Ha! Ah!
Ladadada lada

Well, I feel [?] extremes
[?] strip you of your sanity
One come's with luck, the other's free
But neither one is guaranteed

When I was young I saw the sky
From far away with different eyes
Now I am grown and I can say
I will never see the clouds again that way

Because the end of an arrow means the beginning of time
The ring of funeral bells as a newborn arrives
I wanna love you forever before I leave you behind
I wanna memorize the details and ignore all the signs

Get it, girl!

Well, I ain't slept a wink since June
Ain't took a breath since half past noon
If I ain't dead, I'll get there soon
And I won't rest until I do

Because the end of an arrow means the beginning of time
The ring of funeral bells as a newborn arrives
I wanna love you forever before I leave you behind
I wanna memorize the details and ignore all the signs
And I know that the sun is on my side
At least half the time
And I won't let its absence change my mind

Because I can't end the sentence without starting a lie
I can't finish Larry Sanders Show without starting to cry
I wanna swim in your ocean before it turns into sky
When the dawn of a new age crosses the end of a line
Because the end of a narrow means the beginning of time
The ring of funeral bells as a newborn arrives
I wanna love you forever before I leave you behind
I wanna memorize the details and ignore all the signs
