"Terry's Taxidermy" lyrics

You could die and come back as someone else
If you're enticed by what I sell
Just need to sign and I'll stuff you well
Here at Terry's

When they die they're dying to be rebuilt
With bigger smiles like you wish they did
Hindsight is a tricky thing
So get creative

Lilac eyes that'll never wilt
Can't say goodbye with no lungs to fill
Comfy company, a human quilt
Preservation

Sleep on a couch in an empty home
Kicked out of bed by the memory foam
Reason it out with the heads I've sewn
My poised and harlequin eternal loves

At Terry's Taxidermy, I'll leave you neat as a figurine
I'll remedy the death of thee, your memory forever seen
I'll set you free
At Terry's Taxidermy, I'll leave you neat as a figurine

I don't need to let go, so long as I
Bring a sweet and special doll to life
So I keep this mental compromise
Justification

But the nights are cold next to empty chests
And polished arms in which I'd never rest
I come to harm, but they can never fret
Isolation

And I've got a heart pumping messy blood
And all these parts I could better cut
And quit the farce of these imperfect guts
Contemplation

Sleep on a couch in an empty home
Kicked out of bed by the memory foam
Reason it out with the heads I've sewn
My poised and harlequin eternal loves

At Terry's Taxidermy, I'll leave you neat as a figurine
I'll remedy the death of thee, your memory forever seen
I'll set you free

At Terry's Taxidermy, I'll leave you neat as a figurine
I'll remedy the death of thee, your memory forever seen
I'll set you free

Speaker: Thank you for joining us today as we celebrate the life of Dr. Tich. As many of you know, Terrence attempted to taxidermy himself. He was a man of perfectionism, not a man of foresight, and consequently he started with his eyes. What followed was less than his best work, leading to today's service being a closed casket. If you'll all please join in a prayer- Oh, Jesus Christ! Someone help me pick him up...
