"After You Die" lyrics
"After You Die"
Like a tin can feeding
Like a skinned hand bleeding
Like a tramp choir crying
Like a campfire dying
Like a big dog breeding
Like a pig hog feeding
Like a top hat tipping
Like a dropped rat skipping
Like a tin horn glowing
Like a gin storm blowing
Like a necktie flapping
Like a rich guy clapping
Like a big fool crawling
Like a rig tool falling
Like a back door squeaking
Like a crack whore tweaking
What is it like?
What is it like after we die?
Like a string that's broken
Like a thing that's smoking
Like a blue flame burning
Like a new brain learning
Like more cold coffee
Like a poor old softie
Like a declining graveyard
Like a shining brave star
Like a child that's fainting
Like a wild-ass painting
What is it like?
What is it like after we die?

See the empty stage
See there's nothing there
Save your ounce of despair

Somebody comes and tells me it's wrong
Whenever I'm doing just as I please

Randy Newman - "Let's Burn Down The Cornfield" Let's burn down the cornfield
Let's burn down the cornfield
And we can listen to it burn
You hide behind the oak tree
You hide behind the oak tree
Stay out of danger 'til I return
Oh, it's so good...
Leonard Cohen - "A Street" I used to be your favorite drunk
Good for one more laugh
Then we both ran out of luck
Luck was all we ever had
You put on a uniform
To fight the Civil War
You looked so good I didn’t care
