LYRICS: Elizabeth Hoover’s Dead
May 04Elizabeth Hoover’s Dead 5/17/2010
she worked in Claremont, sold superheroes
darkly black nails and a face like Versailles
she held my hand but the hearts of ten others
like kissing chicks but she loved wearing guys
born on a friday 13 October
watched reanimator and dropped LSD
ran through a red light, died in a car crash
and that was the night she stopped cheating on me
she jumped the Jones
she jumped the Frankiefrank
she jumped the Robert James
sick in the head
she jumped the gun
she jumped the red light
now Elizabeth Hoover’s dead
she had a sister locked up with madmen
kept a pet rat and wrote bad poetry
took me to parties, we rode the teacups
i was a sucker but I couldn’t see
she jumped the Jones
she jumped the Frankiefrank
she jumped the Robert James
sick in the head
she jumped the gun
she jumped the red light
now Elizabeth Hoover’s dead
life is short and life’s unkind
sometimes so dark you cannot see
you my darling died not in vain
you’re my memento mori
remember me
