Tragedy lyrics

It's a tragedy (x4)

He was only 25

Had an open heart and tender mind

He sang through all the hymns he knew

He was searching for a higher sound

When his water was turned to wine

All the darkness became light

Baby's an impatient wife

They just wouldn't have to keep him high

So he gave them up

Just to fill his cup

Every sip will make him feel alive

No bones in his body were dry

It's a tragedy (x4)

Now he's finally come around

He's got wrinkles and a crooked frown

He holds back tears thinking of the years

When the bottle had him all tied down

So we sit, have another round

Singing Hallelujah till he drowns

It's a tragedy (x8)

Mmm...
