Jezable's Lament

lyrics

When you’re dead

When you’re dead you’re not sick
When you’re dead you’re not angry
When you’re dead you’re not hungry, not lonely or sad
When you’re dead you’re not homesick
When you’re dead you’re not restless
When you’re dead you’re not missin things you never had
When you’re dead you’re not dyin’
When you’re dead you’re not cryin’
When you’re dead you’re not tryin’ to pay off your bills
When you’re dead you’re not spoke ill of and you’re not broken willed
When you’re dead you don’t care you were never fulfilled

Some folks believe in a glorious end
They’ll be made whole and see loved ones again
I hope its true but up until then
This ain’t goodbye, it’s just “I’ll see you friend”

Cause when you’re dead you’re not fighting
When you’re dead you’re not fussin
When you’re dead you’re not rushing cause you’re not running late
When you’re dead you’re not Muslim
When you’re dead you’re not Christian
When you’re dead you’re not different because of your faith

We’re gonna miss you hanging around
You’re free from the gravity that held you down
You’re not just in Heaven somewhere in the fog
Congratulations you lucky dog
