A petal falls from a dying rose | |
Into the wind it blows through fate | |
While down below the ground there grows | |
Another rose that can hardly wait. | |
Well, well, well, well | |
Well, well, well, well | |
Well, well, well, well | |
Mmm … | |
You know my uncle finally died of a heart attack | |
Bustin' with pride he was way overweight | |
There was hardly anybody at the funeral | |
Besides the ones who thought they might divide the estate. | |
Well, well, well | |
The preacher couldn't tell us everything that he did | |
But he said every kinda thing that he could | |
Mostly focusing on long ago when he was just a kid | |
And his intentions had all been so good. | |
Well, well, well | |
A petal falls from a dying rose | |
Into the wind it blows through fate | |
While down below the ground there grows | |
Another rose that can hardly wait. | |
Well, well, well, well | |
Oh, well, well, well, well | |
Oh, well, well, well, well. | |
My mother said when he was younger he was skinnier | |
And kinder and funnier and humble as a white picket fence | |
As he got older he got fatter, left his wife for something younger | |
Started showing up here drunker makin' less and less sense | |
Less and less sense, oh. | |
A petal falls from a dying rose | |
Into the wind it blows through fate | |
While down below the ground there always grows | |
Another rose that can hardly wait. | |
My uncle Sam finally died of a heart attack | |
He's burstin' with pride way overweight | |
So through the eye of a needle on the camel's back | |
The American dream hits the Pearly Gate. | |
Well, well, well, well | |
Oh, well, well, well, well | |
Oh, well, well, well, well | |
Well, well, well, well, yeah | |
Getting used to it. |
