Story behind the song
A morbid little love song I wrote for a girl I know. We spent a lot of late nights at IHOP drinking coffee and eating scrambled eggs. Conversations ranged from the effects of smoking to vampires. A song revolving around loss of limb was inevitable.
Lyrics
If I bought you scrambled eggs Then I chopped off both my legs If I fed my arms to your dog just because he begs The rest of me would only want to be with you You know the best of me could only ever dream of you If I lost my head out in the rain Ended up with ware on the brain My mouth might not be able to explain How the rest of me would only want to be with you And the best of me could only ever dream of you If I gave my neck to a giraffe Then I went & bent my back in half Knowing you, I'd know you'd have to laugh Because the rest of me would only want to be with you Yeah the best of me could only ever dream of you If I let you suck my blood While both my lungs filled up with crud I'd leave my limbless feet stuck in the mud Because the rest of me would only want to be with you You know the best of me could only ever dream The rest of me would only want to be with you
