"Death at One's Elbow"

Oh Glenn, don't come to the house tonight

Oh Glenn, oh Glenn, don't come to the house tonight

Oh Glenn, because there's somebody here who really, really loves you

Oh Glenn, stay home, be bored, it's crap, I know tonight

Oh Glenn, oh Glenn, don't come to the house tonight

Oh Glenn, oh Glenn, don't come to the house tonight

Because there's somebody here who'll take a hatchet to your ear

The frustration it renders me hateful, Glenn

Don't come to the house tonight

Don't come to the house tonight

Because you'll slip on the trail of my sad remains

That's why, that's why

Goodbye my love, goodbye my love

Goodbye my love, goodbye my love

Goodbye my love, goodbye my love
