Tell me true
Tell me why
Was Jesus crucified?

Was it you?



Was it me?



Did I watch too much T.V.?



Is that a hint of accusation in your eye?



Mother, should I run for president?



Mother, should I trust the government?



Look, Mummy, there's an airplane up in the sky.



The flames are all long gone, but the pain lingers on.



Daddy's flown, across the ocean



Leaving just a memory



A snapshot in the family album



Daddy, what else did you leave for me?



When we grew up and went to school



There were certain teachers



Who would hurt the children any way the could



By pouring their derision on anything we did



Exposing every weakness



However carefully hidden by the kids






I don't really feel like I have to tell you a damn thing... but I don't want you to leap to any conclusions, as you are prone to do.



What shall we use to fill the empty spaces where we used to talk?



So, here it is: I brought Stanette home to the Dam, my mom (God Bless Her Heart) and dad had a huge picnic.



How shall I fill the final places?



Josh and Amy and Tony and Alison and Birdy and Vaughn and The One Who Is Yet Unamed, and about 30 or 40 other people came by.



We woke up and drove down to the Eck's house.



Then on to Summerfest.



How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?



Day after day, love turns gray

Like the skin of a dying man.



Night after night, we pretend its all right



But I have grown older and



You have grown colder and



Nothing is very much fun any more.



And I can feel one of my turns coming on.



I feel cold as a razor blade



Tight as a tourniquet



Dry as a funeral drum.





Here is a a video from the show:



There is more.

Goodbye.
