Homecoming Queen
Mark Linkous
A horse, a horse
My kingdom for a horse
Rattling on magnetic fields
Yes, I did use up
The last box of sparklers
Before they went bad
Got wet or decayed
Homecoming queen, homecoming queen
Teeth what were sharp
Is ground down and done
Our crooked spine becoming more brittle
What once grew straight
And tall toward the sun
Absorbing back down
To dirt like a sponge
Homecoming queen, homecoming queen
Homecoming queen, homecoming queen
