Graveracer - Michael Malarkey

Into the great

Wide open embrace

You better take me now

Before I escape

I found a scavenger’s way

Of racing the grave

These are the years

That are said to be gold

I travel the world

Yeah, rock 'n' roll

And in my snowglobe home

I’m king of the road

Come on and shake me up

Shake me up

Shake me up

Shake me up

Got my sunglasses on

'Cause I don’t want you to see

I’m out of control

I’m falling asleep

And how I’m lost in the weeds

Of a terrible dream

I saw a hurricane

Through cadaverous trees

I saw the god of the sea

Set his sights on me

I’ll do whatever it takes

To get out of this place

Graveracing

Yeah, baby’s in Rico

With the vitamin C

I saw you gallop apace

And crash into me

I got a switchblade, love

Like I was 17

I felt the savagery

And I burst at the seams

And I was ready to die

I felt my ribcage creak

And then the dove of peace

Hovered over me

Graveracing

My body’s a mess

I’m a predator’s prey

I get out of bed

'Cause I don’t sleep anyway

The most terrible dream

Is keeping me awake

Your heavenly arms

And your heavenly face

But no heaven for me

Without your embrace

I found a scavenger’s way

Of racing the grave

Come on and raise me up

Raise me up

Raise me up

Raise me up

Racing through the grave

Can’t fly till I fall

Someone shake me

In my snowglobe home

Strange conversations

Can’t fly till I fall

Someone shake me

In my snowglobe home

Strange conversations

Graveracing

Racing the grave

Graveracing

Racing the grave

Into the great

Wide open embrace

You better take me now

Before I break

I found a scavenger’s way

Of racing the grave

These are the years

That are said to be gold

I travel the world

Yeah, rock 'n' roll

And in my snowglobe home

I’m king of the road

Come on and shake me up

Shake me up

Shake me up

Can’t fly till I fall

Someone shake me

In my snowglobe home

Strange conversations
