lyrics

NARRATOR: See, you've always been apart of me. From the very beginning. That's why I want to tell you a story.

(music signaled, the soft fuzz of a record being played)

Bodie was a gentleman
He was acting real cool all by his self
Trying to make the most of it
Living in a halfway house

Cherry couldn't handle it
She was sitting on the porch outside that house
Messing with her thumbs again
Biting on the needle till the blood ran out of her heart

& her whole rotting echo
wouldn't let go like Gravity,
"Feel the squeeze of my love."

Doctors hate repeating it: The Life.
They've been messing with the skeletons all the time.
I'm looking for the right way to die
When I know I won't go back to sleep tonight

But Bodie couldn't handle it
He was missing his best friend all the time
Reminiscing what it meant
to go outside with her heart and

her whole rotting echo
wouldn't let go like Gravity,
"Feel the squeeze of my heart."

& my whole rotting echo
rattled my world like Gravity,
"Feel the squeeze of my —"

[EPILOGUE]

Bodie was a gentleman
when he called the ambulance.
He bled out right
Bled out nice & warm.

(lights dim then wisp away)

NARRATOR: But you are part of me, part of the universe. That is a certainty, yeah?
