Father John Misty - Ballad Of The Dying Man Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • [Verse 1]
  • Naturally the dying man wonders to himself:
  • Has commentary been more lucid than anybody else?
  • And had he successively beaten back the rising tide
  • Of idiots, dilettantes, and fools
  • On his watch while he was alive
  • Lord, just a little more time
  • [Refrain]
  • Oh, in no time at all
  • This'll be the distant past, ooh
  • [Verse 2]
  • So says the dying man once I'm in the box
  • Just think of all the overrated hacks running amok
  • And all of the pretentious, ignorant voices that will go unchecked
  • The homophobes, hipsters, and one percent
  • The false feminists he'd managed to detect
  • Oh, who will critique them once he's left?
  • [Refrain]
  • Oh, in no time at all
  • This'll be the distant past
  • [Bridge]
  • What he'd give for one more day to rate and analyze
  • The world made in his image as of yet to realize
  • What a mess to leave behind
  • [Verse 3]
  • Eventually the dying man takes his final breath
  • But first checks his news feed to see what he's 'bout to miss
  • And it occurs to him a little late in the game
  • We leave as clueless as we came
  • From rented heavens to the shadows in the cave
  • We'll all be wrong someday
  • [Outro]
  • Oh, oh, oh
