lyrics

GOODBYE UNCLE BUZZ
I was just fifteen, at my cousins - we were playin',
When we found Uncle Buzz dead in the basement,
Dad shut the door and no one said that word - that word,
We found a note that he wrote on the mantle,
And I felt like shit 'cause I wanted his piano,
But I got his records and his arch-top Kay guitar.
CHORUS
Goodbye, Uncle Buzz I know I shoulda cried,
But I couldn't just because,
Good bye Uncle Buzz, everything's covered,
But nothing's what is was,
Nothing's what it was - nothing's what it was.

The paper said he died from hypertension,
And the word suicide - was never mentioned,
Mom said it was his heart,
I guess it was in a way - in a way,
I played his records on our Sears turntable,
Heard Billie Holiday, Sam Cooke, and Mavis Staples,
And I tried his old guitar,
But it wasn't what the Beatles played anyway.
CHORUS
It was ten years later met my cousins at the station,
But nobody said a word about the basement,
Though everybody there had a drop of Uncle Buzz in our blood,
And now and then I find I think about my uncle, and
And our mothers and our fathers and our secrets in the basement,
And the children in the dark, the children in the dark,
The children in the dark, the children in the dark.
CHORUS
