lyrics

Autopsy

At my autopsy, the doctor will take my heart from my chest, gasp, and hold it below the big white light to inspect. He will wonder aloud how such a bruised and battered thing could have kept beating for so long. He won’t throw it away though, with the rest of my innards, he’ll keep it for his collection. At a dinner party of his peers, he’ll hold it aloft and intone, “here friends is the shrunken, scarred heart of a sucker. May none of us ever be so afflicted.” All the people in the room will nod, clink their glasses, down their drinks, and then return to talking about whatever it is that doctors and their ilk talk about.
