His Last Words

Lyrics

When you're 'high'
 If you could see what I see
 In your unfocused empty child-like eyes
 You'd see my father's blue stare
 And the horror
 Of the loss of language of an educated man
 He recited poems and Shakespeare,
 Knew the name of every tree in Latin Memory
 The unjust cruel sentencing of bewilderment
 And the dying of the brain.
 When you're 'high'
 What do you see
 His last words to me from surgery
 His last words:
 "Burning burning"
 "Burning burning"
 "Burning burning"
 I'm in the flame
 "Burning burning"
