| Lyrics: | I wish you'd known me when I was alive, I was
a funny feller
The crowd would hoot and
holler for more
I wore a drunk's red nose for applause
Oh yes I was a comical priest
"With a joke for the flock and a hand up your
fleece"
Drooling the drink and the
lipstick and
greasepaint
Down the cardboard front of my dirty dog-collar
Chorus:
Now I'm dead, now I'm dead, now I'm dead,
now I'm dead, now I'm dead
And I'm
going on to meet my reward
I was scared, I was scared, I was scared, I was
scared
He
might of never heard God's Comic
So there he was on a water-bed
Drinking a cola of a
mystery brand
Reading an airport novelette, listening to
Andrew Lloyd-Webber's "Requiem"
He said, before it had really begun, "I prefer
the one about my son"
"I've been
wading through all this unbelievable
junk and wondering if I should have given
the world
to the monkeys"
Chorus
I'm going to take a little trip down Paradise's
endless shores
They say that travel broadens the mind, till you
can't get your head
out of doors
I'm sitting here on the top of the world
I hang around in the longest
night
Until each beast has gone bed and then I say
"God bless" and turn out the light
While you lie in the dark, afraid to breathe and
you beg and you promise
And you
bargain and you plead
Sometimes you confuse me with Santa Claus
It's the big white beard I
suppose
I'm going up to the pole, where you folks die of cold
I might be gone for a while
if you need me
Now I'm dead, now I'm dead, now I'm dead,
now I'm dead, now I'm dead
and you're all
goi |
