Surrounded by cotton and wax
My friends, they used to talk to me
But now they lay silent
I liked them the way they were
I didn't want them to change, no , no, no
So I came by with a plan in mind
And I think I made my motives plain
Taxidermy got the best of me
Taxidermy got the best of me
Taxidermy got the best of me
But I am no less of a man
No need to discuss this; don't ask
Your convictions only help me see
That I know what I'm doing
So quiet, the way I keep them
And yet, they look so real, yeah, yeah, yeah
Cut me some slack
And just relax
And you'll start feeling the peace I feel
Taxidermy got the best of me
Taxidermy got the best of me
Taxidermy got the best of me
But I am no less of a man
Yeah-yeah, yeah-y - e - a - h (x4)
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo (x4)
Taxidermy got the best of me
Taxidermy got the best of me
Taxidermy got the best of me
