There was a ma

n back in '95
     
Whose heart ran out of summers 
              
But before he 

        
died, I asked 

him 
                
Wait, what's the sense in life
             
Come over me, 

     
Come over me
 
He said,
  
Son why you got to sing that tune 
          
Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon
           
Let an angel s

              
wing and make 

    
you swoon
             
Then you will 

            
see... You wil

l see
