Complicated O

INSPIRATION

“It’s a drag” is what Paul McCartney said when he was told that John Lennon was dead

LYRICS

It’s a complicated obituary that

you’re gonna get from me tonight,

but how can anybody sum it up

in a poem or a page?

My poor eulogy is so corrupt.

How can I camouflage it,

with this

complicated O…

It’s a complicated obituary

that you shall get from me my friend.

For when we were both inside the dream

we could read each other’s minds

but now we’ve spent a half a life between

bunkered behind venetian blinds

ain’t it

complicated, O…

It’s a drag, it’s a drag, it’s a drag, it’s a drag, it’s a drag

it’s complicated now.

So many twists and turns

bridges built and burned

and the tendency’s to be cliché.

Ain’t it complicated, O…

It’s a drag, it’s a drag, it’s a drag, it’s a drag, it’s a drag

It’s a complicated obituary

that I submit that you deserve

for there are no angels on this earth

but there are those who try

and I shall cry and celebrate your birth

and I shall mourn the day you died

and curse the things we kept inside

but first I’ll face that final drag

and fly

back home
