lyrics

Cause in this life you were raped by god
And torn to pieces by an angry mob
If you saw the stairway we had bought
You’d take it all in grab your works and do it again

I hope that you’re laughing
Looking down and laughing
I bet you can’t stop laughing
Cause if you’re not laughing you’re rolling over in your grave

You always had the utmost respect for me
(Yeah and wishes are horses and money grows on trees)
You were more than kind to everyone else
(The miracle is no one else killed themselves)
Your crazy energy everywhere you went
(You barely kept your depression in check)
The whole world was shocked by your suicide
(No one knew or cared who you were when you died)

I hope that you’re laughing
Looking down and laughing
I bet you can’t stop laughing
Cause if you’re not laughing you’re rolling over in your grave

Tonight there’s a little anniversary that I keep
Listen to old Bowie and try not to sleep
I watch “The Boy with Green Hair” on TV
And wonder what the fuck it all means

Now I’ve changed a lot since I was a young man
And I’m killing myself as fast as I can
But even if I’m nimble as Jumpin Jack Flash
Still can’t keep up with Darby Crash

I hope that you’re laughing
Looking down and laughing
I bet you can’t stop laughing
