Taxidermy
from Taxidermy (Brought Back To Life) by Mr. & Mrs. Smith
lyrics
Taxidermy
They got straight to the point and moved me to the morgue
down from the autopsy on the 2nd floor
They called in a specialist named Jonathan Wright
Figured if he couldn’t do it I’d be put out of sight
chorus-
Let's Bring it back to life,
What you threw away will win first prize,
lil touch here, lil tender lovin care,
Sure ain't no Frankenstein,
It's the best brought out in the light, It's the best brought out in the light.
That table was cold but the lights were bright
warmed the ol heart on the coldest night
My hair felt shiny and my skin squeaky clean
Guess I just needed the dirt off of me
chorus
They pulled off the sheet and boy they were surprised
That dull ol penny Now put out their eye
chorus
first verse
