Adios (The Funeral Song)

You would have laughed at things they said,
It seems you’re much more loveable,
Now that you are dead,
And if you were here you’d be half-plastered,
Show up late and play the bastard,
Leaving me to clean up after.
Adios my red-eyed genius fucked up friend,
We rocked the casbah back in god-knows-when,
We thought those days would never end.
You would have gagged at songs they played,
You would have left to light up,
When they stood and prayed,
Your brother called you a 'soul who searched',
Well, maybe so, but not near church,
I can’t believe you knew these jerks.
Adios my red-eyed genius fucked up friend,
We rocked the casbah back in god-knows-when,
We thought those days would never end.
There were times I hated you — it’s true,
I never had the gifts that you completely blew,
But I stayed faithful like the rest,
I never questioned who was best,
I’m glad we got that off our chest, so…
Adios my red-eyed genius fucked up friend,
We rocked the casbah back in god-knows-when,
We thought those days would never end.
