LYRICS
What was the reason for the breakdown in reason
Was it the season
The super full moon
Crack the loon?
What was the reason for the breakdown in reason
Was it a lesion
Lack of medication
Too much meditation
Om, um, I’m
Heaven
As a matter of fact
The fact of the grey matter doesn’t matter
… what does matter
Is to realize — it’s all the I’s
Me and you, too
My thoughts have been on paying him respect.
Was it correct…
The thing society did neglect
Respect
Might not have been given to him… in hindsight.
Might, right?
… and he deserved some… deserved sum
Written and recorded on the steps of the West Chester Courthouse in Chester County, Pennsylvania. It is a suicide prevention song inspired by *Cowboy Dan* after he jumped from the parking garage in West Chester, PA and Robin Williams died from self-inflicted asphyxiation. Both committed suicide during the time of the “Super Moon”.
LYRICS
It kind of helps if you open the before
Before! Once more! Before!
Ya know when you’re ready to go
It would be neighborly and nice
If you’d kindly please think twice
And, be one of those that knows
… to pull the door close
It kind of helps if you open the before
Before! Once more! Before!
Forget about saving face
It’s time to close this case
Please be nice and think twice
And, be one of those that knows
… to pull the door close
It kind of helps if you open the before
Before! Once more! Before!
