Mark Commits Suicide!

from Naming Names by Roy Ivy

lyrics

There's a reason why I smoke 3 packs a day
a reason that no doctor knows my name
i'm taking it all with me to my grave.
I don't wanna hang around the kids who know they're going to heaven, they're smug and the music's horrible
and i don't wanna hang around the folks who know they're going to hell, yeah, that's swell, well i used to be 16 too.

I can't take the living with the fussing and the fibbing and the premise is wearing thin.
Nobody goes out like that anymore, so give credit when credit is doing himself in.

Thank God you couldn't see your own funeral, the turnout was good, but your body drove em outta the room and there weren't any girlie-girlies crying for you, cept maybe a few, but not the ones you wanted to. Thank God you couldn't see your mama's reaction, she broke every dish in the kitchen. and she knew that you had died without being saved. well, that's okay. sometimes it just works out that way.

about

Roy Ivy Butte, montana

Drinking songs and sing-alongs: that's Roy Ivy's specialty .If you haven't seen him dancing and sloshing about Butte, America, you may have met him in his past lives as a Chicago troubadour. Or maybe you met him in Dallas, where he ran The Tah-Dahs off a cliff, and stupidly quit The Polyphonic Spree before they toured with Bowie.

New songs coming by the end of 2023. ... more
