Life Goes Off

Jim O'Rourke


You used to be quite content with your shower cap 
I guess now I know you feel more at home 
With a case of Handi-Wrap 

You'd hold your own if you thought that it was clean 
At least give me some gloves to wear 
Or a picture of St. Augustine 

If I were to die with these things on, can't say I didn't try 

I'd think that you would try to find something to do 
With my old school tie 
That doesn't turn my skin blue 

Is it hot in here, or do I feel a little draft 
From these pants that you brought for me to wear 
The ones that have no back 

If I were to die with these things on, you might want to try 
Another size 

I'd take your name, if I thought it'd do me good 
If it's all the same to you 
I'll just take a look under your hood 

If you were to die with this thing on 
You coulda chose a better style 

And now that you've gone off 
And all of this has passed 
I don't recall your face no more 
But you left behind your mask 

If I were to die with these things gone 
I'd be frozen with a smile
