dead man's float
sage francis
yea as we walk through the valley of the shadow of death
for we are the most evil motherfuckers in whatever valley we choose to occupy
overtake or drunkenly speed through
the hitchhikers with tired thumbs
often greeted by middle fingers
imagery lingered as the tires spun
now conserve your energy and lay face-down in the waterways
seek guidance from the sirens calling out to you from those watery graves
bloated and holding their crown jewels
instead of flotation devices
they decided the house rules didn't apply to them
got baptised in the name of neptune and then died for him
dead man's float for those who don't like to swim
don't fret cause help is on its way
just stay still and do nothing buddy
and when you meet your maker you can explain
how there was a cemetery of support behind every wager that you placed
all the chorus of every deceased beast that came before is sweetly saying
we all float down here and wait for riptide to sweep us away"
