lyrics

You were gone before you had even died
Dull and dim, Grandpa who am I?
A cruel crown on life/gravy on pie
Being stripped of your reprise
Blame the plagues in labyrinth
Making strangers of your kin

Like a rhinestone cowboy,
Only without jewels
Only without a fine suit
Only without boots
Only without Janet
Left alone by God
Only without Jesus
Whom he had forgot

Forgive me I was gone when you pulled pictures off the wall
Hours on on your side, you lay crippled from the fall
A cruel crown on life/gravy on pie
Being stripped of your reprise
And I pray you were feeling it
Not all alone at quietus


On the end of your rope,
crawling on your knees,
When the shroud was lifted,
From that downhill disease,
And you whisper, “Janet,
boy I’m glad you’re here.”
And within the hour,
your soul disappeared
Like the rhinestone cowboy,
Only without jewels
Only without a fine suit
Only without boots
Only without Janet
Left alone by God
Only without Jesus
Whom he had forgot
