When I'm gone
|
When I'm gone
|
|
Roll my vertebrae out like dice
|
Let my skull be a home for the mice
|
Let me bleach like the bones on a beach
|
I'll be hard like a pit from a peach
|
Now the ground has a branch
|
Now the hound has a ranch
|
The old tressel's just junk
|
The Edsel is on blocks
|
The old said soa¢æ| won't talk
|
I'm a blimp that's straining, cut'er ties
|
I'm a moth in training, flutter by
|
Huha¢æ|
|
|
When I'm gone
|
When I'm gone
|
|
I said I will have satisfaction
|
I will be satisfied
|
I said I will be satisfied
|
When I'm believing: satisfaction
|
When I'm grieving: satisfaction
|
When I'm shaking: satisfaction
|
When I'm praying: satisfaction
|
When I'm staying: satisfaction
|
When I'm carousing
|
When I'm a thousand
|
|
I said I will have satisfaction
|
I will be satisfied
|
Before I'm gone
|
Before I'm gone
|
I will have satisfaction
|
I will be satisfied
|
I will have satisfaction
|
I will be satisfied
|
|
Now Mr. Jagger and Mr. Richards
|
I will scratch where I've been itching
|
Now Mr. Jagger and Mr. Richards
|
I will scratch where I've been itching
|
|
Before I'm gone
|
Before I'm gone
|
Before I'm gone
|
Before I'm gone
|
|
Let me go back into the barrel
|
Let the bullet go back into the barrel
|
Let the bullet go back into the barrel
|
Let the bullet go back into the barrel
|
Before I'm gone
|
Before I'm gone
|
|
I said I will have satisfaction
|
Let the bullet go back into the barrel
|
Let the bullet go back into the barrel
|
Take a left off the straight and the narrow
|
Let the bullet go back into the barrel
|
Before I'm gone
|
Before I'm gone
|
