Paroles de Dead & Gone
“When we’re dead and gone, I guarantee they’ll wish they knew us.You remember Ledford?” “Oh, yeah, I knew old Louis!
Last I heard him up in Bellingham, down on the corner,
screaming the praises of the Wild Tchoupitoulas.”
We’ll be gone from here and dead, and only a few of us
had even a clue of us.
“When we’re dead and gone, I do believe it, then they’ll miss us!”
“You remember Fishkin?” “Yeah, man, Bobby was a canvas…
Genius, money, dream, and drink, and darkness –
wasn’t anything he didn’t get hit with.”
We’ll be gone from here and dead, and almost hopeless,
with only each other to know this – I know that.
I know that it may be just like this after all – after all the blood and song.
I can only hope it feels this good when we’re dead and gone.
“When we’re dead and gone, they’ll have to find us in our footprints.”
“Trying to capture Arriaga – those tracks’ll leave em all hoodwinked,
disappearing first from one direction, then cropping up
perfectly opposite when they came in .”
We’ll be gone from here and dead a thousand years
before they see: she was a raven.
“When we’re dead and gone, they’re gonna carve us up in granite!”
“Stuff us into pamphlets!” “Quake for our caskets in transit!” I know that it may be just like this after all – after all the sky and bone.
I can only hope it feels this good when we’re dead and
Here, we were a while. Here, we worked the plow.
Heroes for the flowers, here we are still now.
I know that it may be just like this after all – after all the life on loan.
I can only hope it feels this good when we’re dead and gone.
When we’re dead and gone.
Dead and gone.
