"Nearly Departed" explores ideas of biding time, gracefully sometimes, and violently at other times, for your turn to push forward and assert yourself.
lyrics
NEARLY DEPARTED
It’s a beautiful day, It’s a beautiful morning
A few red flags, a few stark warnings,
It’s a beautiful day, beautiful day.
Desperate times, desperate measures
Let’s kill him off, and keep the treasure
Desperate times, desperate times.
A fool and his money are easily parted
But the fool holds hope for the nearly departed.
Fatten the pig, stroke his ego
Shock his heart, ‘till he lets me go
Set me free. Set me free.
When I was young and dumb I thought people were good,
And that I was just strange and misunderstood.
Now I’m old and I’m wise and I’m bruised and I’m battered, And I know people will lie, and they’ll steal, and they’ll flatter
It’s either him or me, and I like me better
So string him up high, the higher, the deader.
It’s a beautiful day, It’s a beautiful morning
A few red flags, a few stark warnings,
It’s a beautiful day, beautiful day.
