BOOKENDS

well, I'm carving out some bookends
for the stories of my life
yes I'm carving out some bookends
for the stories of my life
once I get the last page written
I don't want to have to think about it twice
hey that's right

well, I'm sitting out on the back porch
my dead friends stagger through my mind
yes I'm sitting out on the back porch
my dead friends stagger through my mind
trying to figure out how to say goodbye
I'm staring up at the low grey winter sky
hey that's right

everyone's afraid of dying
but maybe death is better than life
yes everyone's afraid of dying
but maybe death is better than life
who's to say which side's more shiny
on such a long sharp silver knife
hey that's right

I fell asleep and had a dream last night
about a dream my dead friend told me about
I fell asleep and had a dream last night
about a dream my dead friend told me about
when I tell you I was dreaming
you might be dreaming that right now
hey that's right

well, I'm sitting out on the back porch
watching the dog play in the yard
I'm sitting out on the back porch
watching the dog play in the yard
feeling drunk nodding on eternity
I'm wondering how I faked it through this far
hey that's right

well, I'm carving out some bookends
on the two sides of this song
yes I'm carving out some bookends
on the two sides of this song
just to show where the whole thing started
just so it won't ramble on too long
hey that's right
