Lyrics
[Verse 1] How to make a homemade mummy: Get a corpse, get gauze, get comfy Shampoo and disinfect dead fluffy For the hallowed excavation of his X-marked tummy Stem to stern, the butter cutter beelines well Tongs butterfly the unzipped feline shell We'll be escorting vital organs With exception of the precious kitten's heart Into the privacy of separate pickle jars Or mayonnaise or jelly pick a card Shit, pick a part and scissor Stomach, lung, intestine or liver In a world of sanitizers and preservatives forever Brain exterminated through the whiskers *kiss & blow* Ditched I blank NY alone We usher in the salts that call the husk home Might embalm and stiffen and rid the fawn of all his liquids Slather it in beeswax, wrap it up in ribbons Like limb by limb, by tail, by ear, by chin Within the hereafter I hereby win I hope you vow to meow another day and never decompose By the way before we seal these molds The short version goes... [Hook] Take the brain out, leave the heart in Take the brain out, leave the heart in Paper playgrounds, meager harvest Take the brain out... [Verse 2] Gadzooks, punk's dead, last good gut wrenched Antennae sam cook, black book pushead Cat skulls stacked to the black hole sunset Olive on a toothpick, Dagwood Bumstead Tagged-hoof hatchery, matter amass naturally Bad wolf, dash for the last rook castling Blue ox, red plaid bass pro flannel king Hasbro crown, sour apple Abba-Zabba tooth In poorly taken pictures antiquating on his mantelpiece Before we only spoke in letters cut from magazines Folk broke bear claws over gross coffee Not as milquetoast men, as los muertos walking Ergo the scarecrow in rare barley Squared-off harpy to armchair: say a prayer for me I feel that mystifying times have gotten ugly I also feel that you could learn a lot from a mummy [Hook] Take the brain out, leave the heart in Take the brain out, leave the heart in Major take down, eat your porridge Take the brain out, leave the carcass Take the brain out, leave the heart in Take the brain out, leave the heart in Games to rain out, pleas to bargain Take the brain out, wreathed in garlic Take the brain out, leave the heart in Take the brain out, leave the heart in Fading halos, feeding herpes Take the brain out, eager starlets Take the brain out, leave the heart in Take the brain out, leave the heart in Take the brain out, leave the heart in Take the brain out...
