Quimby lyrics the ballad of jerry lyrics

the ballad of jerry 



Sad was the day

and sharp was the noise

when the hang out kid saw 

that his punishment came 

He spent too much time

in praying for joy 

It's all about a boy

First came the flashes

followed by crashes

when jealousy rose

in the form of a pistol 

Just ashes of wishes 

remained in his dishes

It's all about a boy

Jerry can dance,finally

Left all his plans

so far behind

Jerry can dance 

it's plain to see 

For the last time tonight

Between the sky

and the planks of the scaffold

when the wind it kneels down

and says: God bless you boy 

His prayer for bliss

it had been raffled

it's all about a boy

Jerry can dance, finally 

Left all his plans so far behind 

Jerry can dance it's plain to see 

Fot the last time tonight

Jery can dance finally 

Left all his plans so far behind 

Jerry can dance,

it's hellish to see

For the last time tonight

What have you done sonny-boy

now you're dancing there

on your own 

You've got your rope 

you're jerking alone
