about

This is a song that I wrote years ago, and always pushed aside. It is very personal, and I finally feel ready to share it with all of you. Enjoy!
lyrics

lyrics

When the first of the flames
Tickled Joan of Arc's feet,
Did she remember all of her victories,
Or know only defeat?
Hey, Joan, was it worth it?
Your sizzling tears?
To have the sweet, secret voices of angels
Still ringing in your ears?

Heard that The King
Died on the throne.
The patron saint of the lonely heart has left the building
He left all alone.
Bet they gave you a jumpsuit
All covered with flare
Made by the Madonna
To dress up for your mama
A-waitin' for you there.

And she sang to him, Na na na na na.

The night before Jesus
Died on the "t,"
He opened his arms to the cold night sky,
Said, "Come on, Pops, don't do this to me."
Did you think he would bend?
Had to know he won't break.
Did the man in the sky
Help you understand why,
Or was he just the only one awake?

What do I do with my heroes all gone?
Ain't got no choice but to be my own.
I'm not very good at it so far.
Could be worse, they could set me on fire.
I just try not to fuck up too bad.
Yeah, I try not to fuck up too bad.
Lord, don't let me fuck up too bad
As I try not to fuck up too bad.
