The Pumpkin Song

Yesterday, I drowned in a pumpkin
Ah, my friends, save your grief for I'm not the one that needs it
For the pumpkins were hungry last night
So I gave them the only thing I could give
My life, my life

I was born with funeral candles upon my head
Ah, my friends, let them burn, the flames may guide you
And the pumpkins were hungry last night
So I gave them the only thing I could give
My life, my life

Along an old gravel road, you may see my pumpkins
Held in the motherly arms of crooked trees
Yes, but do not stop to stare
Stumble along, stumble along, stumble along, stumble along

Perhaps you've seen my pumpkins growing on
On legs and skin, well friends, sometimes I need them
For the pumpkins were hungry last night
So I gave them the only thing I could give
My life, my life

Now pull your coat closer to your body
And softly curse this chilly night
But keep on moving, yes, yes, keep on walking
Stumble along, stumble along, stumble along, stumble along

Oh, dear, something's gone wrong
Ah, my friends, please think of me, I don't think you think you think you need me
But the pumpkins are hungry again
And I've given them the only thing I could give
My life
Yes, the pumpkins are hungry again
And I've given them the only thing I could give
My life
I gave them my life
