Phantom Limb - Polkadot Cadaver

I don’t know how, but they’ve found me

And it’s only a matter of time

Before I’m hanging by a lightpost in the center of town

Along with my family

We’ll drink to the dead

Now the ghosts in the warfields

Eat bread of the body

Of a god make believe

These sticks and these stones

Will break hearts and split bones

Piece of mind only comes when you realize

You can’t chase away all your demons now

With withered and broken legs

As your crippled sanity swings like a pendulum

Hanging like a phantom limb

I don’t know why you ever loved me

Such a lowdown right pitiful fool

Look at you now, hanging by a thread

Under a full moon we’ll drink to the dead

As we gulp down the blood

We’ll chase it with whiskey and swallow the floods

That wash away the souls that I can’t forgive

That hover like a phantom limb

Phantom hovering silently

Hanging like the guilty

Dizzy vultures in my head

Slowly circling the dead

Nauseating nursery rhymes

You can’t chase away all your demons now

With withered and broken legs

As your crippled sanity swings like a pendulum

Hanging like a phantom limb
