What a Lullaby, What a Way to Die Lyrics
How far does it go? Is it me or is your face in the water?
My head will explode, if I try to hold my breath any longer.
Mapped out? I don't know, I was acting on an impulse, like your mother.
Sea sick on a rope, all the jokes that I keep making and forgetting,
Here's one that I know, but I lost the punch line two years ago.
Friend says to a foe, I'm just acting on an impulse, like your brother.
I wish that I could just make up my mind,
what a brilliant lullaby that you and I can finally write.
I wish I could just make up my mind,
to tie this anchor tight, and tell the world good bye.
Good bye x12
My head will explode, if I try to hold my breath any longer.

what a brilliant lullaby that you and I can finally write.
to tie this anchor tight, and tell the world good bye.

--It's like he is looking down at the water and all he can see is his childrens faces. Was it logical to stick his head in after them? no, but it was an impulse like his wife sleeping with his brother.
