Weigh It Down

I took my money to the cleaner
 And for a price it came back greener
 Now the time has come for renovations
 In the neighborhood all the apparitions are leaving
 And if not for good, then at least for now
 I will be alone for as long as they will allow
 The sadness and the dull routine
 Is perfect for the opening scene
 The lazy bastard with a spark
 Who never left a mark
 In this house and on my lawn
 You can hide in your Golden Glow until the snow is gone
 On Southill Drive I saw a ghost
 She said,
 "I liked you, but I liked your friends the most
 And when your body fails, I'll hammer down the nails
 And wait for you in heaven, unless somebody posts your bail"
 The sadness and the dull routine
 Was perfect for the music scene
 The lazy bastard with a spark
 Who never left a mark
 I'm searching for the anecdote
 To prove a point, to line the coat
 To taint the love, to lace the drink
 To weigh it down and sink
