A Song Written by Paul Rust

Performed by The Yakamishiis

You said you wanna’ be dead

You put a pillowcase on your head

And showed it on my color TV,

So I could finally see

How unhappy you could be

And I recorded it all on videotape.

I watched it again and again,

So I could finally come up with a plan

And figure out just what I should do,

So I could finally help you

And maybe pull you through

And take that pillowcase off your head, my dear.

Takin’ off that pillowcase

Takin’ off that pillowcase

I’m takin’ off that pillowcase

I’m takin’ off that pillowcase

I tried and tried and tried,

Hoping that you would survive,

But it’s been nearly a year

And you’re still crying, my dear,

So I think that I should leave here

Because you’re becoming my own pillowcase

Takin’ off that pillowcase

Takin’ off that pillowcase

I’m takin’ off that pillowcase

I’m takin’ off that pillowcase

I hope you make it through

I want you to make it through

I’m dying for you to make it through,

But there’s nothing I can do

Ya ya ya ya ya
