Tragedy
It's a tragedy (x4)
He was only 25Had an open heart and tender mindHe sang through all the hymns he knewHe was searching for a higher sound
When his water was turned to wineAll the darkness became lightBaby's an impatient wifeThey just wouldn't have to keep him high
So he gave them upJust to fill his cupEvery sip will make him feel aliveNo bones in his body were dry
It's a tragedy (x4)
Now he's finally come aroundHe's got wrinkles and a crooked frownHe holds back tears thinking of the yearsWhen the bottle had him all tied down
So we sit, have another roundSinging Hallelujah till he drowns
It's a tragedy (x8)
Mmm...
