Dear Dead Delilah

 So you had to get away to the clouds for a while

I saw you chasing rainbows for what seemed like endless miles

So everything was running smoothly when your head began to swell

Along came a good time and it sent you straight to Hell

So it had to be your way and now your mother suffers

Saw your face in the paper you had so much to offer

Everything was running smoothly when your veins began to swell

Along came Sister Morphine and she sent you straight to Hell

Ah what a fool you've been...I told you many times before

And I knew it would turn out this way

Where were you when they passed out the brains

Did you ever get one...did you learn how to use it

Why didn't you listen when I told you the truth

Dear Dead Delilah you know you're gonna lose

Give my regards to the moon for me... and all the little diamonds in the sky

Ah what a fool you've been...didn't you know we'd miss you when you die

Now you're at rest in your million dollar box

You're showing neither worry nor despair

You had to get away you're with the clouds forever

Goodbye goodbye I'll see you when I'm ninety nine
