Cancer of the Skull (Live at Carnegie Hall) Lyrics by Cameron Winter
This song is called Cancer of the Skull
I am full of heavy metals
I am a heavy metal man
I have work in the morning
I have two bags over each hand
I came up the stairs
I came to meet your cigarettes
You’d like to keep my salesman’s teeth, wouldn’t you, baby?
But I’m on a pirate’s crazy-eyed quest
I am wired to the man
I take the train at dawn for him
I throw the horrible secret out
I bring the front door into the house
I came up here to freeze
I came up here to sleep in your infamous kitchen
You’re holding out a baby’s shoes but I can’t take ‘em
I pray to a pirate’s maniac religion
Oh, cancer of the fingers
On the hands of a beginner
All these songs are meant for bad singers
Who I can’t reach
Oh, cancer of the 80’s
I was beat with ukuleles
Songs are a hundred ugly babies
I can’t feed
My face is on the dollars
I am one dollar in your hand
I write a hell of a letter
And anyone who doesn’t know any better will tell you
I am that zero dollar man
Oh, I painted over the perfect nose
I taught you something you learned in 2011
I buckled up for the fatal crash
I took a bullet through the bulletproof glass
I kissed the emptiest car on the road
Oh, cancer of the fingers
On the hands of a winner
Oh, songs are legendary swingers
I can’t keep
Oh, cancer of the 80’s
I’ve been getting spanked by everybody lately
All these songs are a hundred ugly babies
