We saw him for the first time in years
He'd invited us over to hang out and have a couple of beers
His wife leaned over and said, "Can I get you anything at all, my
dear?"
And he said, "No, if you don't mind I'd just like you to disappear"
And she said, "it's OK to be mean to the evil people
Who make life unbelievable
But try to be nice to me."
We all watched him as he pulled his napkin apart
Then he threw his hands up and let the pieces scatter on the carpet
He said, "Mortality is an issue with me, It's good for my art
Because I am very interested in the makings of a broken heart"
And it's OK to be mean to the evil people
Who make life unbelievable
But try to be nice to me.
We all try to get through the day with just a little piece of
happiness
and we all try to frame our face with a background of success
But we all find ourselves at the end of the day racing to undress
And the people we kick around inevitably are the ones we love the
best.
