My Name Is Mathias - The Burning Hell

My name is mathias and I came to say this

I’ve got a big bushy beard and kissable lips

And I carry all my fat in my ass and my hips

The rest of me is skinny as a stick

In the sixties my mom was hip and mini-skirted

She was raised as a catholic but then she converted

‘cause she loved my dad’s religion and she loved him too

And that’s how I was born a jew

They lived and went to school in buffalo

But my dad decided that they had to go

The vietnam war would not be good for his health

And that’s how I was born in the commonwealth

Where we’re born and when we die

We can’t control that

And life in between is just war and combat

There are targets you can shoot for and mines to circumvent

But most of life is an accident

I’ve spent time in peterborough and in winnipeg

But leaving is living if you just use your legs

Everywhere is nice if you drink enough beer

So some days I’m there and some days I’m here

But it’s not about sowing my wild oats or whatever

I sowed my oats when I was young and I thought I was clever

And my oats all rotted in the field where they lay

So I’m oatless and unemployed these days

But I have a ukulele and I have a guitar

Though I don’t have a house or a kid or a car

I’d like to keep it that way for as long as I can

But you know what they say about the best laid plans

Where we’re born and when we die

We can’t control that

And life in between is just war and combat

There are targets you can shoot for and mines to circumvent

But most of life is an accident

And an accident is something that you don’t plan

Like the y chromosome between a woman and a man

One day I might get hit by a bus or get cancer

But right now all I am is a fabulous dancer

So dance with me baby

Put your hands on my hips

Kiss my aforementioned kissable lips

Wherever we are

Baby that’s where we’re at

My name is mathias

And I came to say that
