Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wish you'd known me when I was alive
I was a funny fella
The crowd would hoot and holler for more
I wore a drunk's red nose for applause
Oh, yes, I was a comical priest
With a joke for the flock and a hand up your fleece
Droolin' the drink and the lipstick and greasepaint
Down the cardboard front of my dirty dog collar
[Verse 2]
Now I'm dead, now I'm dead, now I'm dead, now I'm dead
And I'm goin' on to meet my reward
I was scared, I was scared, I was scared, I was scared
He might have never heard God's comic
[Verse 3]
So there he was, on a water bed
Drinkin' a cola of a mystery brand
Readin' an airport novelette
Listenin' to Andrew Lloyd-Webber's Requim
He said, before it had really begun
I prefer the one about my son
I've been wadin' though all of this unbelievable junk
And wonderin' if I should have given the world to the monkeys
[Verse 4]
Now I'm dead, now I'm dead, now I'm dead, now I'm dead
And I'm goin' on to meet my reward
I was scared, I was scared, I was scared, I was scared
He might have never heard God's comic
[Verse 5]
I'm going to take a little trip down paradise's endless shores
They say that travel broadens the mind
Till you can't get your head out of doors
[Verse 6]
I'm sittin' here on the top of the world
I hang around in the longest night
Until each beast has gone to bed
And then I say, God bless and put out the light
[Verse 7]
While you lie in the dark, afraid to breathe
And you beg and you promise
And you bargain and you plead
Sometimes you confuse me with Santa Claus
It's the big white beard, I suppose
I'm goin' up to the pole, where you folks die of cold
I might be gone for a while, if you need me
[Verse 8]
Now I'm dead, now I'm dead, now I'm dead, now I'm dead
You're all goin' on to meet your reward
Are you scared, are you scared, are you scared, are you scared?
You might have never heard God's comic
