[Verse 1]
Grandma's drunk again passed out in her soup
The rats are singing, there's asbestos in the roof
Mr. Perkins in the front yard with his gun
The kids are crying as he points it at the sun

[Chorus]
I smell pollen where the grass still lives
Standing on the mezzanine, choking on my spit
I still wonder why they live like this
It seems like everyone's dying

[Verse 2]
She killed her husband 'cause he loved her like a whore
They say the flowеrs grew the day she dumpеd the corpse
She drowns herself inside her Tylenol and pills
Says she could have been an actress in a film

[Chorus]
But I smell pollen where the grass still lives
Standing on the mezzanine choking on my spit
I still wonder why they live like this
It seems like everyone's dying

[Bridge]
This town is dying
Why are they like this?
God keeps on lying
But they'll try to hide it
[Outro]
They're setting fires in the churches tonight
The shadows dance on the wall
Waiting for the answers to their calls
