Intro
Verse 1
I wish you'd known me when I was alive
I was a funny fellow
The crowd would hoot and holler for more
I wore a drunk's red nose for applause
Oh yes I was a comical priest with a
joke for the flock and a hand up your fleece
Drooling the drink and the lipstick and grease paint
Down the cardboard front of my dirty dog collar
Chorus 1
Now I'm dead now I'm dead now I'm dead now I'm dead
And I'm going on to meet my reward
I was scared I was scared I was scared I was scared
He might have never heard of God's Comic
Verse 2
So there he was on a water bed
drinking a cola of a mystery brand
reading an airport novelette
listening to Andrew Lloyd Webber's requiem
He said before it had really begun
I prefer the one about my son
I've been wading through all this unbelievable junk
and wondering if i should have given the world to the monkeys.
Chorus 2
Now I'm dead now I'm dead now I'm dead now I'm dead
And I'm going on to meet my reward
I was scared I was scared I was scared I was scared
He might have never heard of God's Comic
Bridge 1
I'm gonna take a little trip
down paradise's endless shores
they say that travel broadens the mind
till you can't get you head out of doors
Intro 1
Verse 3
Im sitting here on the top of the world
I hang around in the longest night
Until each beast has gone to bead
and then i say god bless and put out the light
(rest 6 beats (snare))
While you lie in the dark afraid to breathe
and you beg and you promise and you bargain and you plead
sometimes you confuse me with Santa Claus
it's the big white beard i suppose
im going up to the pole where you folks die of cold
i might be gone for a while if you need me
Chorus 3
Now I'm dead now I'm dead now I'm dead now I'm dead
And you're all going on to meet your reward
Are you scared are you scared are you scared are you scared
You might have never heard of God's Comic
Outro
(repeat 6 times)
