about

Is this a love song to Herbert West- Reanimator?
Is it a metaphor for a vibrator? Is it just silly? Do I have a drinking problem?
The world may never know.

lyrics

Good morning, to the dead snake by my window,
Good morning, to this stale, old cup of coffee.
Last night, somebody left on the TV,
so I heard gunshots all last night while dreaming.

You brought home a white-trash girl and she flirted with your dad,
your step-mom wouldn't give her a beer, so she threatened to kick her ass,
you were so turned you didn't know how to act,
but Mom and Dad left you with the check for the TV that she smashed.

I think I want a boyfriend,
I think I want him to be undead,
I don't want to date a vampire,
I want to date a severed head,
we can talk all night and I can keep him in my bag,
and when we drink, I'll drink his beer second hand
as it leaves his esophagus

There's a horse inside this bar and he is drinking with his friends
he broke his leg in a race last year and he says he would do it again,
broke his leg in a race last year and he says he's got no regrets,
I am likely to believe him when I've had enough to drink,
with my severed head boy friend.
