This is the story of the life and times of a mortal boy who mercy guided
Blessed by grace like being in a forest fire of delight live like a shooting star
He crafted and he craved he cracked he cried his eyes and dried 'em off
Shoulders, sunbeams, smiles and candle wax he talked and laughed a lot
He thought that he was dying
Dying of chronic cancer that was eating him alive from the inside out
Shaped just like a claw clutched and tied around his soul
And the pain he felt left him let him shout.
What do I care what you think? I'm dying alone
and I lost all my reason for why
If I died tomorrow I danced all the day
on the ball, in my home in the sky
I am so amazed, he said, of life and truth and fiction.
I'm astounded by the written spoken word
Science, clasping hands, religions of the lands
far and wide there is a law overall.
And it comes as in a dream and remains when we have woken
it is breathing, so it seams, it is ripping through it's clothing
It is bleeding, it is realing, it is flying, it is feeling
And it's got a hold of me way the fish hold the ocean
What do I care what you think? I'm dying alone
and I lost all my reason for why
If I died tomorrow I danced all the day
on the ball, in my home in the sky
Go cool, tango koo
I have not forgotten you
Tango koo, sky country
He has not forgotten me
