Lyrics
Is there anything more funny than human beings living life on earth?
Not that I have a good sense of humor, I’m still made that death comes sometime after birth
Somebody is a trickster and I’m their little sister
I was born with hurt feelings, taking everything so seriously
Our upstairs neighbor died and now the trash is overflowing in the alley
Full of his rough draft love letters handwritten in the 1970s
I want to laminate them, or I want to carve them into stone
Oh my dear Victoria, I’ve been waiting for you so long
In my hands now I carry all the waste that we’ve lately made
I’ve got nowhere to put it down, all the alley has become his grave
I sneak my garbage into someone else’s dumpster
So I can lay one burden down
All the the things we make and buy and burn and bury
Live forever in the ground
I hope a wind comes screaming down the alley
And sets the letters free to melt down in the snow
As for everything to which I hold so tightly
I know that one day I’ll have to let them go
