Painful Reminder

The young boy has fallen in love
With his homeroom teacher
He has fallen in love
It happens everyday
In schools throughout the city
Throughout the city
She was married, he did learn
And inside he did burn
Deep inside he burned
He vowed that never again
Would he open his heart
Open up his heart
And to serve as a reminder
He painted her a picture
This painful reminder
And hе keeps it in his binder
This painful reminder
Thе next day in his art class
He drew a picture of her
With an axe in her head
A picture's worth a thousand words
Even those left unsaid
Those best left unsaid
Now he walks the halls alone
And it is for the better
Alone...alone...alone
And he vowed that never again
Would he open his heart
Oh no! never again!
And to serve as a reminder
He painted her a picture
This painful reminder
And he keeps it in his binder
This painful reminder

Dead is Dead

We passed the fields of gazing grain
We passed the setting sun
As the beat of the drums calls for my life
I lean my head to the ground
There is no inn on the path to the sound
So where shall I sleep tonight?
I walk to the place where the blue shadows creep and winds of the desert weep
You think that you're in control
That you can cheat death that you’re in control
The time we get here is a blink of an eye
Just a tear drop in the Atlantic sea
A billion dots in the universe
A split second in history
And the coming of death is a fearful blow
The cold and the moony smile
The secret things of the grave are lost
The black mother doesn't care about you
We're here just for a little while before we’re all dirt in the ground
So let's try to make the best of it
Let's make the most of it
We're here just for a little while before we're all dirt in the ground
So let's try to make the best of it
Let's make the most of it
We're all the same, when where down in the ground
We’re all the same, when we morph into soil
We’re all the same, when where down in the ground
We're all the same, when we morph into soil
Do you really want to throw the first stones?
And be remembered for when you are gone
Now we’ve given up the ghost, now it's time to bite the dust
And if you come to my funeral, don't bring a thing
Just sit back and listen, to when the fat lady sings…
