And his mother cried in bed

Folding John Wayne's t-shirts
When the swingset hit his head

For his humor and his conversation

Oh, the dead

Even more, they (3)________ boys
With (4)__________ cars, summer jobs
Oh my God...

He dressed up like a (5)__________ for them
With his (6)________ paint (7)__________ and red

And on his best behavior
In a dark room on the bed

With a sleight of his hand
Running far, (10)______________ fast to the dead
He took off all their clothes for them
He put a cloth on their lips
Quiet hands, quiet kiss on the mouth...

And in my best behavior
I am really just like him

Look beneath the floor boards
For the secrets I have hid
