andrew bergey - mr. jannings lyrics
he wanted to look good
on the day he died
got his hair done right
before he testified
small bible in one hand
cross in the other
whispered confessions
known only to his mother
there was a write-up
mentioned his run-in
he was done-up
and she was done-in
his friends had dropped-out
or joined-up
gave a shout-out
in a round-up
he wanted to be set
on that final day
a folder of things
done to help smooth the way
recorded every number
combination of locks
he did but he didn’t
want them to find the box
there was a send-off
called him a shut-in
had to cut-off
so i could cut-in
his family moved on
or moved in
got his groove on
when it moved him
you said he contributed nothing to this earth
except his birth
you said he had no real value at his age
except his wage
he wrote it all down
everything we said
copious notes
even on his dying bed
anecdotes and jokes
made up or realized
put down in his journal
that wasn’t sanitized
