"Jed's Other Poem (Beautiful Ground)" lyrics

"Jed's Other Poem (Beautiful Ground)"

Apparently before Jed had left us
He wrotes some poems
Wrote them for no one
But I guess I'll show them
Here's one of Jed's poems

You said I'd wake up dead drunk alone in the park
I called you a liar
But how right you were

Air-conditioned TV land, 20 grand, walk to the bank
With shakes from the night before
Staring at the tiki floor

High school wedding ring, keys are under the mats
Of all the houses here
But not the motels

I try to sing it funny like Beck, it's bringing me down
Lower than ground
Beautiful ground

Beautiful ground

Test tones and failed
Clones and odd parts made you
