lyrics

My little teeth wanted out so bad that they all jumped right out of my head and

My little hands flapped so hard that they flew away now I can't play the keyboard

My little heart beat itself to death all that's left is the hole where it used to be

All of my skin melted off my bones now I look like a Halloween costume

He was a solid guy

but now he drifts like a vapor in and out of the empty sky

we all thought he was here he was a man for a minute but then he disappeared

all of my hair got the feeling they'd be better off somewhere other than on my head

each of my bones sublimated and all of the meat fell right off of my body

both of my lungs filled with helium now they're some of the parts that I don't have

my little feet tapped so much that when they were done they were nothing but piles of dust

he was a solid guy

but now floats like a ghost and the rest of us can't say why

we all thought he was here he was a man for a minute but then he disappeared

and he never reappeared

he was gone.

he was a solid guy

but now he's gone and the cartons have his picture right on the side

we all thought he was here he was a man for a minute but then he disappeared

he was a solid guy

we were away for a while but now we're back and he's out of sight

we all thought he was here he was a man for a minute but then he disappeared

It's possible that the devil snatched his from his bed and took him out for some Chinese food

or maybe there was a cat and it sat on his chest and sucked the life out

he was a solid guy

but now he drifts like a vapor in and out of the empty sky

we all thought he was here he was a man for a minute but then he disappeared

and he never reappeared

he was gone.
