about

When We're Gone is the third single released off of the upcoming album, The Madness Inside, Volume 1.

lyrics

You put you're right foot in front of your left
as you aimlessly walk towards your ultimate death
There's a cold dark hole, waiting for all
so you're doing the death march and having a ball
So in the meantime, let's rat a tat tat
in the bar downtown like an old man's frat
but when the clock, it ticks no more
it's too late to sin anymore

CHORUS:
When we're gone what will they say
Will they sing our praise in any way
will they, have a rager at the Davis Motel
Will it be attended by the angels from hell
When we're gone what will they say
will they gnash their teeth and rue the day
Is there anyone who'll give a damn
That I walked the earth with the rest of man

They say that God prefers a man with some spunk
Who dresses the part and who walks with some funk
So I'll ease on down, like Dorothy's plan
With the lion and scarecrow and rusty tin man
I'm gonna woof at the monkey's put up my duke
Watch out for witches and their zombie troops
But when, the clock, it ticks no more it's too late
To ease on down the road

CHORUS

Madame's and Monsieur's bid you adieu
As I graciously welcome your final salute
So as not to stray from my usual script
With aplomb I'll take rest in that cold lonely crypt

I say, let's raise a glass to all of my friends
And those I've ignored because I'm cooler than them
With a wink and nod am I lowered below
Soul in repose in the wonderous unknown

CHORUS

Is there anyone who'll give a damn that I....
Pray for me.
