I was a teenage porcupine
A bed of nails running down my spine
A trail of tears up a hill of beings
A last long laugh at the edge of dreams
Nobody told you about the curse
The battered brains and the busted nurse
But you can't let the bastards bring you down
A last long laugh at the edge of sound
Last long laugh at the edge of sound
How many times around the sun
Till you drop your leaves and you say you're done?
To be such a house plant is no crime
A last long laugh at the edge of time
Last long laugh at the edge of time
Need I remind you about the end?
The gaping void just around the bend
But why would I waste one single breath?
A last long laugh at the edge of death
Last long laugh at the edge of death
