(fake fake flowers) (fake funeral)
This room is a fluorescent tomb:
it's brazen bulbs mimic death's hyena croon.
He pulls on her wires,
she jerks to attention
she's animated again,
she's talking to a hypodermic reflection.
We've watched it all from the window ledge...
the nurses offer their condolences...
tongues flapping I can't make out your tone,
our hearts beat in slow motion.
If we make it to the final scene...(fake flowers!)
show me to the sapphire pit (fake tomb)
peel the candy crust off my body (fake flowers)
throw in the brittle skeleton...(fake tomb)
Because can you inject love's tender touch back into the gang bang?
Can you knit the stiletto back to the bloodstain?
Can you put the bite back in the beast you've broken, tied and tamed?
Can you crease the wrinkles back into the cracked and open brain?
So doctor won't you pull the fucking plug? Won't you cut the cord?
Because you can't put the life back into this hospital ward.
Now she's gonna make it out ok...
but she's shaking like a revolution...
and she stares at the fire all day...
mumbling to herself...
"every hole has a snake in it
every crotch is a Siamese gun
every ray of sunshine hides a cancerous chime
every breath is a bomb"
I'd like to wrap my arms around you like a flesh canopy.
I'd like to take your head, place it somewhere between my shoulders and neck,
but I'm afraid your brittle bones would break.
We can hear the black out orchestra singing...
Because can you inject love's tender touch back into the gang bang?
Can you knit the stiletto back to the bloodstain?
Can you put the bite back in the beast you've broken, tied and tamed?
Can you crease the wrinkles back into the cracked and open brain?
So doctor won't you pull the fucking plug? Won't you cut the cord?
Because you can't put the life back into this hospital ward.

and yeah---really one of my fav. blood brothers songs.
if (fake flowers) we (fake tomb) make it to the final scene,
- we being everyone in his grandma's life, the final scene being her last hour
show (fake flowers) me (fake tomb) to the sapphire pit.
- im not really sure what a sapphire pit is, but i think it's asking everyone to let her know that she's dying.
peel (fake flowers) the (fake tomb) candy crust off my body.
- don't act like there's a chance she'll make it if there isn't, like a comment up top said, i think the candy crust is sugar coating everything.
throw (fake flowers) in (fake tomb) the brittle skeleton.
- referring to her cremation i think. or being buried.
(fake flowers, fake funeral, fake tomb)
