John Hawkins Band - Disgust

In the names of headstones
The carcass on the side of the road
The fly caught in the spider's web
The faces on the milk cartons
In the eyes on the cattle car
And engraved on canopic jars
The leather used to wrap the ball
I didn't know they made coffins that small
In the silence between coughs
The shoes that remained at Stutthof
The ship that rests on the seafloor
The poison you get from the drug store
The gun hiding in the backpack
In the letters from the Zodiac
The screams you hear in the night
From animals that won't see the light
Oh death
Are you my nemesis
Or my best friend
Oh death, oh death
The crosses on the side of the road
The smell from the hospital
The deer mounted above the mantel
Two sides forever entangled
Oh death
You're so confusing
Necessary yet tragic
Life's prerequisite
Oh death, oh
