Piles on the Floor (Tonight They're All Alive)

from The Divorce by Jake Foster

/

lyrics

the catcher in the rye started charging for his service
the women give the speeches because the men are too nervous
huckleberry finn and tom sawyer start to worry
that the mississippi river's running in to big a hurry

dorian gray ran off with darling daintyfoot
the queen of hearts repented for the heads she took
glorfindel dyed his hair as black as black could be
after he missed the boat to valinor, now he's living in the city

winston smith kept fighting until he brought big brother down
every now and then he still sees julia around
emma and mr. knightley got divorced and split the bank
and humbert humbert never even met charlotte haze

sal paradise is moved to settle into a steady job
fortunato never died because his would-be grave was robbed
the marquis de sade coverted now he's preaching to the choir
while guy montag continues setting all their books on fire

you and i have read these books a million times before
it's hard to walk around all of the piles on the floor
all the writers written here have opened up our minds
though they may be dead and gone, tonight they're all alive
