Say His Goddamn Name (LIVE!!)

"No, buddy, you ain't gettin' off that fuckin' easy.." "Did y'all know... this fuckin' bird's already died one time!" "Buncha fuckin' bog mummies tore out his guts when he was savin' my fuckin' ass out by a moonshine swamp shack!" "So, I had to have some fuckin' words with our old friend, Death." Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!! [Opening] Cradled my owl in swamp and snot, Feathers stiff, caked with bog's thick rot. I shut my sniveling down to spit— This ain’t how that BASTARD quits. He saved my hide a thousand times, I owe him once. Or, fuck it all, I’ll die tryin'! [Verse 1] Hey Reaper, you empty sack of bones, I see that grin, I hear your moans. Last time we drank, I hit the floor, But my owl kept me from bein' yours. Now he’s gone, you can stake your claim, Come back down. Say his goddamn name. [Chorus 1] Say his goddamn name, or I’ll burn it all. My owl don’t go with no silent crawl. Feathers, grit, that fuckin’ laugh— He ain't gone. They just ripped him in half! [Verse 2] Death showed up with that rattling hiss, No lips to sneer, no tongue to kiss. “You want him back? You wanna bet? You can’t outdrink the infinite.” I stared him down with eyes still flame— Then cracked my neck. Say his goddamn name! [Chorus 2] Say his goddamn name, you coward shade. I know I'll lose, that's why I stayed. Fuckin' drink 'til it blots my mind. He's waitin' for me at the finish line. [Verse 3] We drain jars in the sinking night, Bog and rot wrapping me tight. The burn hit deep, my legs went slack, The world spun wild; I fought to track. "You... losshh..." he slurred, his words a crawl, His voice all thick, a sloppy drawl. [Bridge] I laughed and pointed, "You dumb ghost fuck, You're soakin' thick in moonshined muck. You drank it down and thought it seeped... I may be drunk, but you're fuckin' steeped!" [Chorus 3] Say his goddamn name while you drown in proof. My owl danced on wires and puked on roofs. He ain't yours, you bony bastard! So Say his name and give him back! [Verse 4] One last drink... I hiccup. The Reaper wobbled. He pissed his cloak, and then he toppled. I wade through muck, see feathers throbbin'— You breathe again, and I can't stop sobbin'. [Final Chorus] Dookie, Oh Dookie! You beautiful bastard, I'm just crying 'cuz I'm fuckin' plastered. Dookie, Dookie, I broke his game, Now Death can choke on your goddamn name! "Dookie!!!"
