My Girl, Suicide

All the cheerleaders are smoking filterless cigarettes,
and all the prostitutes are gussied up for church.
All the collections are calling on their debts
and all the policemen are calling off their search.
And then there's me,
I'm in love with a girl named suicide.
What a great day to be alive, in a town where there's not much to live for,
where just a smile can be a chore.
You can sail a boat that doesn't float
as the tears wash on the shore.
Watch the tears wash on the shore.
Hey, you heard the one about the old man and his mermaid bride?
They say he's buried in a suit and tie that the devil could not reach.
And hey, they say he wasn't the luckiest gentleman,
but his corpse smelled like cinnamon sprinkled on a peach.
And then there's me,
I'm in love with a girl named suicide.
What a great day to be alive, in a town where there's not much to live for,
where just a smile can be a chore.
You can sail a boat that doesn't float
as the tears wash on the shore.
Watch those tears wash on the shore.
And then there's me,
I'm in love with a girl named suicide.
What a great day to be alive, in a town where there's not much to live for,
just a smile can be a chore.
You can sit in a boat that doesn't float
and the tears wash on the shore.
And then there's me,
I'm in love with a girl named suicide.
What a great day to be alive, in a town where there's not much to live for,
just a smile can be a chore.
You can sail a boat that doesn't float
as the tears wash on the shore.
Watch the tears wash on the shore. A thousand tears wash on the shore.
