Act sweet and get your cap
Chief says the deceased is reposing in the shed out back
I know you’ve seen worse in books and on the internet
But you’re turning green as hell, yeah buddy, you’re a rookie yet
We talk about it like it’s so sad
It was the longest confession Father Dempsey has ever had
Nevertheless, the morgue is gonna get her in a couple different bags
And I still think doing yourself in is the last true hopeful act
Well, kid, I’ve been on the force a real long time
I’ve seen em hanging from rafters, seen their brains out, seen em fried
I’ve split two lovers from a once-unending hug
As far as I’m concerned, son, our graves are already dug
On the heights of despair
And I haven’t got a care
Each special someone fading into the dirt
All the troubles in my head
Will be erased in the halls of the dead
Where at last I will accept my minimal worth
We talk about it with unbelievable fright
Reading portents in the wind of every lonely night
Nevertheless, the trouble with being born ain’t saying goodbye
It’s the terror of carrying on, each dreadful weary mile
