Grateful When You're Dead/Jerry Was
There
I'm painting, I paint a picture in your mind,
If you're driving roads to suicide,
I know you can sympathise.
If your lover is a cheatin', and you're blinded by the pain
Your honeymoon in summer is a picnic in the rain...
You'll be grateful when you're dead
Grateful when you're dead
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba,
(etc...)
I'm shaking, I shake the spear before your eyes,
Well if you know your history,
You will read between the lines.
If you're waiting for a vision, to illuminate your mind,
To leave this world of misery, oh leave it all behind...
You'll be grateful when you're dead
Grateful when you're dead
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba,
(etc...)
Jerry was there, Jerry was there...(many times!)
Oh I'm telling you man,
Jerry was there,
You could feel his presence everywhere
(Repeat)
'I seen him man - looked me right in the face.'
