She was just 17; Pious and pretty with a
deadly disease, And the
weight of the
world on her prosthetic shoulder. And by the
summer of '96, Her body was cracked like porcelain. Just like some precious moments collectible, In a
hospital gown and a
big bright golden halo. And so three cheers for my morose and grieving pals. And now let's hear it for the
tears that I've welled up. We've come too far to have to give it all up now. We live lives that are rich and blessed, And we'll burn for how we transgress. Now I've mastered the
art, Of the
open casket prayer, and the
singing guitar. And I've found the
rewards weren't half what I'd hoped for And meanwhile we all feigned hope and mirth, As her parents went on and lied to her; All about the
success of the
surgeries, And how my ex-girlfriend was now sleeping with her fiance. And so three cheers for my morose and grieving pals. And now let's hear it for the
tears that I've welled up. We've come too far to have to give it all up now. We live lives that are rich and blessed, And we'll burn for how we transgress. If there's any justice in heaven, Than God won't let me in. He'll lock the
gates and take my weekend pass away. With a
sympathetic wave they'll see me off. Reserve my golden crown while I
am cursed to walk the
earth for a
millenia. I
know I
deserve worse but it terrifies me and I
can't take it anymore. And so three cheers for my morose and grieving pals. And now let's hear it for the
tears that I've welled up. We've come too far to have to give it all up now. We live lives that are rich and blessed, And we'll burn for how we transgress.
