Did U C What Train That Kid Got Under

DID YOU SEE WHAT TRAIN THAT LITTLE KID GOT ON?

When your good friends keep dying around you life ain’t so great
You ask how they died while fearing the answer
It’s always something devastating dispensed by fate
Sometimes it’s drugs, and sometimes IT’S cancer

Or, by the way, did you hear about Jersey Chuck
What a way to go, getting hit by a train
You know, after all is said and done and I’ve said oh f**k
I think the trains is best because I believe you  get hit so hard you don’t feel any pain

And let’s not even discuss when a friend’s child dies
Funerals, eulogies, weeping moaning and tears
All this for a five year old lad with intriguingly opaque eyes
All that for a child only on this planet for five years

So thus far we’ve established that I’m a coward and weak
And that getting hit by a train is good if it’s death you seek
Today a really close friend died whose sister and I went steady
And I guess the universe wipes you away even if you’re not ready

Another heart breaker Jeff, you try to sound so casual but it hurts so deep in you and for that I am heart sorry, death is inevitable, its always the survivor that suffers.
