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"
