Ginger Joe

(album: Epitath - 2015)

Listen people and you will know
The man who had it all and let it go
Listen people and let us tell
You how he rose and how he fell

Ginger saw something he shouldn't have seen
He turned into something he shouldn't have been
He was a man who couldn't stand still
Ginger was the one who struck the wrong deal

Ginger Joe used to have a life
Ginger Joe used to have a wife
Ginger Joe gave it all away
For a smoking gun on a rainy day

Ginger Joe used to have a name
Ginger Joe used to play the game
Ginger Joe's slipping on a slope
His life slinging on a rope
Nothing will ever be the same

Ginger Joe used to be a star
Hey Ginger, hey Ginger
Ginger Joe used to drive a car
Hey Ginger, hey Ginger
Ginger's life was a christmas Carroll
Hey Ginger
Ginger's feather's they are full of tar
Hey Ginger

Ginger Joe used to play the Lord
Ginger is sleeping on a board
Ginger Joe used to have a home
With a Ginger dog sucking on a bone

Ginger's life was nothing but a lie
Ginger he didn't like the truth
Ginger Joe wished he'd never die
Ginger is paying for his youth

Listen people and you will know
The man who had it all and let it go
Listen people and let us tell
You how he rose and how he fell

Ginger saw something he shouldn't have seen
He turned into something he shouldn't have been
He was a man who couldn't stand still
Ginger was the one who struck the wrong deal
