HENRY DAVID THOREAU
(Music and Lyrics by Matthew Causey)

16 men on a deadman’s chest
Yo-ho-ho-ho and another blood test

A tatoo-tag on both your hips
The nurses dance to a total eclipse
Back to the room where they make you strip
And hook you up to the morphine drip

But don’t worry baby
I’m pretty sure you won’t feel a thing
Don’t worry now
I’ll take the pain for you

Someday showhow I pray
That all these doubts will go away
That there’ll never be a judgement day
No black spots on my x-ray

There was a darkness on the slide
Twelve out of twelve, side by side
The ferryman began to row
Metastasized in my lymph nodes

But don’t worry baby
I’m pretty sure you won’t feel a thing
Don’t worry now
I’ll take the pain for you

Someday I hope that I will go
Straight back home to Thibedeaux
Far from these hospital woes
Live like Henry David Thoreau

But don’t worry baby
I’m pretty sure you won’t feel a thing
Don’t worry now
I’ll take the pain for you

Someday showhow I pray
That all these doubts will go away
There’ll never be a judgement day
No black spots on my x-ray

There was a darkness on the slide
Twelve out of twelve, side by side
The ferryman began to row
Metastasized in my lymph nodes

But don’t worry baby
I’m pretty sure you won’t feel a thing
Don’t worry now
I’ll take the pain from you

The ships lauched out with eight black sails
Into the storm and wind-force gales
16 men on a deadman’s chest
Yo-ho-ho-ho and another blood test

A tatoo-tag on both your hips
The nurses dance to a total eclipse
Back to the room where they make you strip
And hook you up to the morphine drip

But don’t worry baby
I’m pretty sure you won’t feel a thing
Don’t worry now
I’ll take the pain for you

But don’t worry baby
I’m pretty sure you won’t feel a thing
Don’t worry now
I’ll take the pain for you

Someday I hope that I will go home
Straight back home to Thibedeaux
Far from these hospital woes
Live like Henry David Thoreau
