Famous last words

Of course the famous last words

Of the one who loved you

The one who you loved beyond anyone

Father, why have you forsaken me

As he hung on the cruxfix

Strung up there like a scarecrow

Even the crows didn't dare

But eventually Mary came

They lifted him down

Laid him in a cave

And rolled the round rock across

His grave

Calling heavy as a rock is he

He who will never be free

Imprisoned king

But here's the thing

Their famous last words

As he walked again

It's just nobody tells you

That can happen

They all say he can't or

You'll never walk again

Just watching the crows

Watching the crows


 He was knocked off in the Senate

With all his rivals next to him

He was brought low by the mob

The last thing he said before they found

He was dead

Was

I wish I could've finished the job

Famous last words

Of the bold and the true

But who knew then

They'd come back to bite them through


She was wrestling with a swordfish

In the bowels of the ocean

She had sharks surrounding her

In quite a commotion

She'd opened a can of worms

When she admitted she was a dolphin

She said well you don't see that everyday do you?


Tie up your sewerside

And Jesus never tried

Oh of course he thought

Of drinking the cyanide

Or taking the hemlock

But he had a block

He was the Godfather

Of little Tim Cock

Who looked up to him

Like he was Papa doc

Especially hanging there on the cross
