[Verse I] Do you remember how he walked Onto the stage like the world was ending And this was his final song? The way the sweat dripped off his nose Forming a swirly pool of colors On the cracked wooden club floor? Now I recall the way he moved Back then before the bullet Shattered pieces of his skull Spreading him all over the carpet In that hotel room They couldn't piece him back together To sing his last tune [Hook] We only wanted one last song A tune so we could sing along We only wanted one last song A tune so we could sing along [Verse II] No time machine exists quite yet And all those voices we once worshiped Solely belong to the dead Sleeping so comfortably for now Between some gatefold sleeves and shrink wrap Piled on record store grounds We all imagined his last song A melody To help us forget that our God was gone To help us remember his face Before the maggots crawled Inside and out of his eye sockets Such a perfect song [Bridge] Ahhh ahhh ahhh men Yadi yadi yadi yay Gummy gummy gum drops [Verse III] But he's gone Into the abyss Falling fast s**ed through a giant black hole Deep into the center of the earth Far from anybody's ears Just flung Into oblivion Forgotten by the world And the puppeteers That once put him on a pedestal Are repackaging Hoping advances reappear Gone Now there's no way that we could ever Dig him out beneath the Mountains of records That cover his dusty grave He's done And there's no übermensch To soothe the senses Truth is that we'll lose in the end Everything dies soon It's helpless [Hook] [Outro] So you have you heard the one about the one man band? The one man band Yes, the one man band
