Burn Pile by Sam Whedon

I’m selling happy futures in the sunshine of my life.
I live in Pleasant acres with my children and my wife.
I reap the rewards of sacrifice and prayer.
And the weasels in the basement, they mostly stay down there.

I seek my soul’s salvation and I’m stepping on my brother, wait there’s more.
I lent an old friend my revolver and he robbed a liquor store.
The brown acid plant next door lets off funny colored steam.
I’m the captain of the acid plant’s winning softball team.

Like a light on the water dancing in the wake of a boat going down on the edge of the lake
Your smile… takes me back to the night dancing around the burn pile.

My wife looks like a model with a smile like sugar cane.
We’ve got an arrangement and a love like freezing rain.
My son Bob’s a genius. He’s my favorite and he’s always been.
Took my cripple daughter to the seashore, then we pushed her in.

Like a light on the water dancing in the wake of a boat going down on the edge of the lake
Your smile… takes me back to the night dancing around the burn pile.
