Reefer Madness movie - Dead Old Man lyrics

rate me

<br>

Jimmy:<br>

There's a story for each wrinkle on your face<br>

There's a dream for ev'ry blessed liver spot<br>

Maybe you fought in the great Civil War<br>

Perhaps you once shook Abraham Lincoln's hand<br>

Who knows?<br>

<br>

You're dead, old man<br>

You're dead, old man<br>

Dead old man!<br>

<br>

Did a sweetheart used to kiss this weathered skin?<br>

Did these brittle fingers gently stroke her cheek?<br>

Never again will these lips know a smile<br>

This knee you bounced your children upon is drenched with red<br>

<br>

You're dead, old man<br>

You're dead, old man<br>

Dead old man!<br>

<br>

The wisdom that shone in your aged eyes<br>

I snuffed it out!<br>

Blinded by speed and the reefer smoke<br>

I puffed it out! And in! And out!<br>

And out and in and in and out and out and in and out<br>

Until nothing seemed important anymore!<br>

Not even your sweet life, old man!<br>

<br>

Left knackered by a Packard<br>

You bled till dead, old man<br>

Poor dead old man<br>

Dead old man!<br>

<br>
