The Night Before The Funeral

The night before the funeral, I got some. I sneaked a young girl up the stairs and past my mum. I took her clothes off and I played with her bits and she did the same but it took ages for me to come. Too drunk and getting old... It was a lovely show for a god I don't believe in. I couldn't sing a single note at the service.
When they did "How Great Thou Art" all I could think of was my old LP. of hymns by Elvis. There's no such thing as sin... I said to Laura, "I hope I know you forever and when I'm going, I'm going the Viking way. Lay me in a boat with my favourite things and set me on fire then send me on my way. Kick me out to sea." There's no such thing as sin...
