Stampead Grin for Grief Lyrics:
all the good people
they’re just waking up now
I haven’t slept yet
I haven’t slept

and tomorrow is yesterday
just like today
so live it up, live it up
that’s what I hear them say

and the poisons in my body
how I’ve learned to love them
and we eat em up, eat em up
and eat em up again

and the girl in my blanket
whom I fake my affections
I’d give her up
for some directions

there’s a grin for grief
grief for grin
back and forth and forth and back
you know I always win

now I wake up to the sunlight
shining from the windowsill
to the corner of my
left squinted eye

there’s fear over lost headache pills
you know the pain it makes her cry
under the cover I see my sunshine
with a blanket mark on her face
I sit back and smile
at the dog tail chase

there’s a grin for grief
grief for grin
back and forth and forth and back

you know I always win

now I blur my eyes inside
make the colors collide
wink eye to eye
make the world move
from side to side

and I say
where’s my east coast sunshine
tanline, shoreline, soulbride
I left her some time ago
ask me why and I will not know
but I guess the girls are still lovely
wherever you go
I guess the girls are still lovely
wherever you go

and there’s a grin for grief
grief for grin
back and forth and forth and back
you know I always win

the orchestras playing a memory of
a time when we smiled under east coast skies
sitting at the dock at the shinnecock co-op
with an empty bucket by her side
as she sat with a fishing pole in her hand
I sang her a song I knew only
she would understand

I got her high strung up
on my melody and
I got one sly hand creeping up her
pretty little knee

but don’t be fooled if you
decide to do this
she may not love you
she just loves the music

there’s a grin for grief
grief for grin
back and forth and forth and back
you know it makes my head spin
and as I laugh at the angels
sit and eat with the sin
yes I knew that I knew
that I’d always win
