Worm in Heaven

So it's time to say goodbye

I was never too keen on last words

Hope I said something good

Grass has grown over me

Long before now

I hope you walk through life with a smile

Keep a knife in your purse

Be as needed as the nail

As neat as the pin

Stick into things

Stab into things

I wish you well, I do

May you find peace in this world

And when it's over

Dissolve without pain

I am the worm in heaven

So close to grace

Could lick it off of the bootheels

Of the blessed

I am the worm in heaven

After my life

They'll have me living out in the foothills

Cleaning the gilded gutter

I am the worm in heaven

Remember me how I lived

I was frightened

Always frightened

I did exist, I did

I was here, I am

And what I left behind

Never be the simple kind

I exist, I did

I exist, I did

I was here, I was, or

Never never never never never never never was

Never never never never never never never was

Never never never never never never never was

Never never never never never never never was

Never never never never never never never was

Never never never never never never never was

Never never never never never never never was

Never never never never never never
