I'm painting, I paint a picture in your mind
If you're driving roads to suicide, I know you can sympathise
If your love is a cheatin' and if you're blinded by the pain
Your honeymoon in summer is a picnic in the rain...

You'll be grateful when you're dead
Grateful when you're dead

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

I'm shaking, I shake the spear before your eyes
Well if you know your history, you will read between the lines
If you're waiting for a vision, to illuminate your mind
To leave this world of misery, oh eave it all behind...

You'll be grateful when you're dead
Grateful when you're dead

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Jerry was there,
Jerry was there (many times!)
Oh I'm telling you man, Jerry was there
You could feel his presence everywhere
Oh I'm telling you man, Jerry was there
You could feel his presence everywhere
"I seen him man - looked me right in the face"
