Mortgage

It's so easy to topple from this life on a thread 
  And you say why bother 
  When it goes either way, the hair trigger is set 
  But it needs an extension 
  Why do I bother 
  To trouble myself? 

  My dreams overflow 
  With heights and malt liquor 
  Elastic forms of escape 
  From twenty-year-old threads 
  And parasitic dread 
  Why do I bother? 
  Why do I bother? 

  Drive me to the grave of the unknown soldier 
  I've been payin' rent too long 
  And the mortgage is gone 

  It's so easy to topple from this life on a thread 
  And you say why bother 
  When it goes either way, the hair trigger is set 
  I need an explanation 
  Or a transplant 
  Or a transplant 

  Drive me to the grave of the unknown soldier 
  I've been payin' rent too long 
  And the mortgage is gone 

  Drive me to the grave of the unknown soldier 
  Drive me to the grave of the unknown soldier 
  The mortgage is gone 
  The mortgage is gone
