Lyrics
The Dearly Departed (richard handwerk)
Isolations’ gonna get the best of me
I see stories on the tv
one fool has head in an oven
another fool with his hand on a trigger
we’re all destined for a bad end someday
we’re all searching for someone to love anyway
one mans’ a sinner. Ones’ a saint
ones’ a prostitute, and there’s another who ain’t
mothers, they gather by the flood
looking for love ones, (the dearly departed)!
it’s all the end that we’ll see
don’t you know it could be you and me?
‘oh’ look away, don’t look too far
cause givin’ up is much too hard
desperations’ gonna be the death of me
when happiness turns into tragedy
One fool with a finger on the bomb
While another wants to do you no harm
some people never change
it’s so easy to remain the same
holding you here, I look into your eyes
feeling your soul pressed up against mine
one mans’ a sinner. one’s a saint
one man’s a junkie, & there’s one who ain’t
mothers they gather by the flood
looking for love ones, (the dearly departed)!
some people never change
it’s so easy to remain the same
holding you here, look into your eyes
feeling your soul pressed up against mine
people can change, some never will
while others live for the joy of the kill
fools live in a world so full of dreams
while others never know what living really means
