LIFE IS PRETTY (WHEN YOU’RE OLD AND BLIND)

I see

A moanin’ morning in your eyes

Ya told me stories

About the rise of things without an end

You would send

Me tales

Tales of the heavens that you’ve known

And when we get old

You’d show me heroin and coke

And then we’d joke

Chorus:

Life’s pretty when you’re old an blind

And we are still together

We’ve seen death and suicide

And we are still together

We even tried to kill ourselves one night

And we are still together

And the world worked hard, to tear us apart

And we are still together.

I see

A bird’s flying through the sky

To spread the word

That you died naked on the floor

A bloodstream to the door

I sing

A song of angels, dressed in black

It says that one day you’ll be back

‘cause you belong

to me

chorus
