Last Book

lyrics

LAST BOOK

in his last book he said i will never die
i let my thoughts go and boy if you try
you can catch them and use them for your everyday live
you will learn how to smoke and how to steal someones wife
at the day of their wedding so please don't think twice
these words in his last book they're not ment to be nice
cause he's older not wiser and he gives a damn
he hates healthy food and his assistant named sam
is a young man with high hopes and a sweet virgin heart
he has to answer the phonecalls and lie at his part
and his soul's getting darker you know since day one
and he starts wearing black clothes and stays away from the sun

and you
you may think how can art be so cruel
and you
you should change the water in your pool
cause it's not blue anymore it's not blue anymore
and it smells
it's not blue anymore it's not blue anymore
and it smells

in his last book he said he lost all his friends
in june ninetysomething the day history ends
but the sun was still shining and the grass was still green
but the rooms where all emptied and the spaces between
him and what's up dude how are you doing today
for each easy smile there are prices to pay
for each happy moment for each golden light
cause something is dying for all times deep inside
but he's dancing yeah he's dancing see him vanishing there
still smoking this cigarette still breathing this air
and i love him yes i love him i could kill for the way
he's kind of bowing his head when there's nothing to say

and you
you may think how can art be so cruel
and you
you should change the water in your pool
cause it's not blue anymore it's not blue anymore
and it smells
it's not blue anymore it's not blue anymore
and it smells
